Are there any benefit to belonging to project or token community these days?

[hugeblack]

As long as there is a possibility for the #DevelopmentTeam  to print, burn or control the issuance of tokens, there is no guarantee that they will not misuse them. Also, not knowing how to distribute tokens or distributing a large amount of them in an ICO or not knowing how they will be distributed are all factors that make you think several times before investing.

One of the things I hate to see the most are those projects who come out first claiming to be community focused projects, but once it's time for shared benefits, most of the allocation goes to a selected few when the rest are left to share the scraps...Some of you should already know what I'm making reference to. There are only a few communities that really offer benefits to their holders and it makes me wonder, what's the use of a community if it doesn't put the interest of it's members first? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I think the community should receive a smaller amount than developers and the team. But a strong community is good, and it may attract more people to the project.

Bitcoin is a project with a very strong community support  for example. Bitcointalk/reddit  are  places for technical support and discussions . There is also a strong presence in X and telegram and YouTube.  Just like solana for example

The allocation will be based on how much they contributed over others, for example if it bounty then stakes will be higher if they completed all the tasks than the one who did a few and the same thing applies to bigger picture too.

Community token project doesn't even reach the market in the first place so whether you received small allocation or big, everything will just goes in vain.

Promises is a normal thing for new projects, sometimes they even say things that are unrealistic, but because investors are blinded by the thought of making money, they go ahead to buy it.

Every new project will claim to care about their community, whereas most of them only care about their pockets and once they have made money for themselves, they are gone for good.

It's a marketing gimmick and it still works. At the end of the day, nobody wants to be spending money on a token without getting anything in return. It's either you dump or get out early or you be the one getting dumped on With new projects launched each week/month, quickly abandoning ship is the trend these days

There are no benefits for belonging to the current projects because they are time-wasting, and I know you are referring to X Empire and Hamster Kombat because of your experience with the dust tokens they distributed to their participants. All of these communities are a waste of time and effort because they make false promises to motivate participants and then use them to promote their community, only a small percentage of these communities reward participants for their efforts, and if you watch those communities, you usually see that they have few participants. However, if you see communities with a lot of participants, don't expect to receive big rewards.

I feel some of these project founders needs to outline the project and every steps that needs to be taking before the final distribution of allocations or whatever reward that the community ought to receive. I have the feeling that some of these projects owners sometimes don't usually make plans, while others might have plans(but don't usually involve a large portion of the community). I experienced one myself just 2 days back. The airdrop I've been participating in, made a recent announcement that users below a specific number of points won't even get anything, and I've literally been participating in this project for months now. What a drastic way of wasting people's time, and I believe the number of users that hasn't accumulate to their requirements are far more than those that have.

this will have to do with the kind or type of project community we are opting for, some may be rewarding and fully prepared for their real time launch, while some may be unprepared and will only join in taking much of your time for performing their task to later reward you with little or no return at all, but when we know much about a particular project, it is going to be an added advantage for us being recognized by them.

Some of these projects look very legitimate in the beginning, they tell the investors and their community everything they set out to do and achieve with the project, but many times these are unrealistic promises. My point is that one can know much about the project, but in the end the project can still turn out to be a scam or a complete waste of time to all involved.

It really depends on your contribution to the community and the reputation of the project. If you think that the community was set up to serve the interests of the developers and not really a community-based project, then its not worth being a part of the community.
Some communities put emphasis on contribution; if you're not part of the ambassadors or promoters, your benefit is much lower, worked that way,

Sad but true,
So far, the conditions that often occur are like this. Usually developers will still prioritize investors' tokens to be able to trade in the market first and carry out several stages of freezing or sending to the community. because developers always have concerns that community members will make the bankrupt immediately when they enter the market and trade in all the tokens. This makes sense, but not 100%.

However, usually, the community is what makes a project famous, big, and getting hype. but unfortunately, not many projects care about the community and will let it go if they are at a certain stage and have had enough of the hype. and in the end, there are several cases where the community is disappointed with the results.

This is exactly why Bitcoin is totally different from these shitcoins and that’s why it’ll always stand out in every area. No one has the ability to create new Bitcoins because if it was so then those who are reserved with such ability would definitely misuse it to suit their own personal needs. The reason why these new projects always end up crashing after making some notable improvements is because the Devs can create and burn tokens at anytime and this can potentially contribute to price manipulation. If developers can come up with a project that possesses the framework of the blockchain network, then perhaps there could be some level of confidence.

I think your point is very much about airdrop, which we tend to forget over and over again. These forums do not only discuss airdrop or bounty topics. Here you can know and learn the right way to earn money from crypto. Many come here only with the intention of making money but get disappointed when they get nothing from the airdrop. However at this time most people are chasing telegram tap gaming so the number of active members is less. Many others are continuously working on bounty to earn money. But the word of airdrop is less now and people are considering it as absolute nonsense.

Supply is not the main reason for using Bitcoin. There are cryptocurrencies with a total supply of less than 21 million, and yet we do not see anyone willing to pay a dollar for them. As for Bitcoin, although the supply is limited, the number of satoshis is very large. We have about 2.1 quadrillion satoshis.
