I for one love WAKA, but mainly because I love saying " WAKA FLAKA FLAME!!!"
But no, I wouldn't have paid the $ when it released, however that's just because I am aware of the way that shit drops like crazy when the item hits the open market place. It always has and always will. No matter the item, token, crypto or stock. Once there is more supply than demand, price drops until there is more demand than supply (no matter the price).
