I just went to the Tron Dao website and read their "Tokenomics" explainer, which lays out the broad goals of... all the whatever they're doing over there. Basically, if you hold a lot of tokens, you get credit to do token stuff for free and get to sit on the board, basically.
If you don't have a bunch of extra tokens, you pay token transaction fees, and those fees destroy themselves. Their stated goal is to destroy more tokens than they create, to ensure token deflation, they seem to think this is happening well. 60% of tokens are held by founders and the dao.
I... they just say that. On the website. In fairly plain language. I know we haven't had to think about crypto in a bit, which has been nice, but it hasn't gone away. The successful crypto dorks have just retreated to only work with the whales and the high rollers.
Like, this is clearly not designed to sell to someone's grandma, it's supposed to be bought and held in high volume. They're just grifting each other and stupid rich people now, either for direct capital injection or by convincing people to use this stuff as a "platform" for apps and games and shit.
And the US is injecting this stuff into the government as we speak. It's one of their top priorities.
To be perfectly clear, what they're trying to do is sell exclusive luxury shovels.
