The earning part is just part of the gimmick to get you to stay and try it. They have to lead by the dollar because the reality of the situation if they didn't have that they couldn't compete as a standard social media site. They'd drop like the titantic. so this is what i call the carrot and the stick routine. This is why i believe the original creators left these projects. They don't really work.

What it reminds me of is this moviecalled the interview". Thats the movie about North Korea. So what happens when you visit North Korea.. they make it look like the place is great. There is plenty of food and entertainment. Now the reality of the situation is most of the country is not experiencing that. The people at the top of the system want you to believe it so they can benefit. THe reason it doesn't grow is because most people aren't benefiting they just pushing the same narrative of okay if you work hard and if you do this or that you going to be successful.

Sure ever so often they let a few people through for whatever reason and then we go one more person through lol. The reality of the system though is it's not sustainable. Which is why if you look at the overall value over the years its imploded and it continues to do so. It's just not happening overnite.

The hodl theory generally doesn't work and i'll tell you why. Many people are holding onto unrealized gains where they bought the tokens at different price points. So hodl for you could mean 1000x return for me. Unrealized gains means at some point these people have to liquidate. Well they just made up a coin and printed as much money as they wanted. They got way more than you and they can in some cases print more. So it is worthless to them to hodl. it's like bitcoin if you tell bitcoin miners to hodl.. They have bitcoin through mining often times they don't want to hodl they selling the bitcoin because it's of more value to them to sell it. When you sell something you effectively saying its worth x to me. So the market sets the price. So its not likely they will hodl.
