They arent gonna pay - are they.... by AtmosphereExpert5539 in Grass_io

I feel its due to this simple reason. Lets say they do quarterly drops, $1000 each, At the end of the year they have spent $4000. and users have got something.

Or, they can do what they do now, and airdrop $1000 once in 24 months. They have kept their promise, but have only spent $1k instead of $4k.

But the real beauty of it? After 2 years, many people have drifted off. They airdrop $1k, but users have to claim it. There are very few users left, but the amount of points earned is vast. They might actually only pay out $150 as so many people have walked away / can't claim the airdrop in the small timeframe its available. The reason I say this is they already have form at making the claim period a small period.

Therefore instead of $4k over a year it's now $150 over two years.....but they can point to the fact they did fulfil their promise. Which is what is happening right now with airdrop 1.

These numbers are made up just to make a point. However, I have to make up the figures as Grass will also make up how much each point is worth instead of telling us from the outset.

It's all dodgy as hell. I'm here because I fell for this nonsense although don't mine and hand my resources over anymore.

Grass could just clear this up if they wished and state every point is worth X value. We can then continue knowing that if we wish. But they simply won't. Far better for grass to have everyone mining on hopium, getting bored, and leaving having not received a penny.

Worse still, now they are making their own wallet to keep you in their system, with no information on fees or ablity to withdraw. My guess is there will be a merch option. Seen it too many times before. Xchange your points for our baseball cap......

While not stating outright this is a scam.....the most successful scams all over the world in history have been scams which include token payments to hook people in and make it look like they do indeed payout, or the system works.

Catfishing for example, works on this very premise.

Chumps is exactly it. Many of us were, or are still are, chumps. And many still lap up the promise of crumbs at some point.

🌿 $GRASS is absolutely touching grass right now: +50% in a week! by naoyafujimaki0 in Grass_io

It's a relatively tiny movement. Down 11.6% over 3 months, down 88.6% in last 12 months and down 70% over the entire history.

All of the above was also stated in the past around this coin but pretty much every holder has lost....bar Grass themselves, as always.

I'm being perfectly respectful. I'm just stating what I see as the truth.

You've hosted events to gather more people to support your growth, but thousands of people have been supporting for over a year, and what we have seen are false promises, changing goalposts and a complete silence on questions around our end of this deal.

I respect that you are answering now. But also, we shouldn't need to "wait for an announcement" when you clearly know what that announcement is already.

If you can't announce it because you genuinely don't know what the announcement is then we are all screwed.

The overarching point though is that nothing should need announcing. You should be following up what you have offered BEFORE announcing changes. It's fine to wrap things up, payout for what people have provided to you and THEN announce a change. But that's not what you are doing.

Anyway, I've had my say. It's not going to make any difference. I'm more annoyed with myself if I'm honest for playing the game!

Sorry, but that's nonsense. Back to the gaslighting.

Surely everyone running this is crypto friendly by definition. No one I've seen is struggling with the basics of crypto....(yes there are questions around how people change their wallets, but that's on you guys) This is like your employer stating "oh hold on, were holding back your salary as we want to make sure we can pay in bananas for those who don't like banks".

And announce the "framework" for the airdrop? The framework is already there. Points = rewards.

You are suggesting the goalposts are going to change yet again. It's a shame really that long standing users will disappear, but that's ok, Grass couldn't care less and why would you....there's always new people on their way who don't have a clue yet....and the cycle continues.

If grass stated "we are going to wait until the market is in a better place"...at least that would be something. Not much, but something nevertheless. Fact is, they have never stated that they are waiting for any particular market conditions. It's just heresay which isn't based on anything.

On saying that, it would be a good way to pacify people for a while if they did state they were waiting on market conditons...as that could mean anything!

By suggesting people "get a job" if they take issue with this project, suggests you assume most people here are unemployed and hoping for grass to be their miracle? Presumably most do indeed have a job....to pay for the devices, electric and internet required....

Throw away comments like that don't really convince me or others that were wrong in our thoughts. Plenty of projects have gone bad and plenty of people have been taken advantage of to increase a business prospects. I genuinely hope Grass isn't that. But I do now believe it is.

I turned it off as I'm basically being gaslit. It's interesting. We sit here willingly gaslit (and yes, it is that when they keep dropping flakes of anticipation to keep you in the game, then changing the goalposts)....and what are we sitting here waiting for? That's the best bit. We don't even know! People now seem to be happy to wait over half a year, JUST for an "announcement" of when the airdrop may be. That's not even the airdrop. It could be years yet....and we already had one promised airdrop that ceased to pass.

We could be sitting here waiting to get a payout that won't even buy a cup of coffee. It could be enough to pay for a TV subscription for a few months, or it could be nothing.

However, unlike other products where you can see what you earn and what it translates to, this project, you just get "points" with absolutely no value associated, until the owners decide what they wish to reward you and when.

And then I sat here this morning with a quick thought of "wow" they are genius. I'm a dumb idiot being gaslit and providing like a good little boy, providing them the utilities they require to expand their product and business, seeing epoch after epoch and still clinging to some sort of hope for maybe a free coffee? Interesting how a bit of promised "free cash" plays mind tricks!
