Bondex and rubbish after many years

Greetings everyone!

Yesterday around 2 p.m., I went online and saw the news about one particular airdrop we've been farming for like two years or so. The news was all about checking the eligibility of the token because they were about to list on many exchanges.

Honestly, I got tired of the airdrop since last year when I stopped checking in because they were dead—nothing was happening, no serious updates on their X handle.
I dusted my phone and went to update the app on Play Store, clicked on the link to check for eligibility, and behold, it was stated clearly that I wasn't eligible.

Did I feel bad? Of course, yes—but I didn't feel it much because I didn't follow up properly, and I didn't do some of their requirements. But hey, I did some, even the difficult ones.
I remember a particular season when @treasuree and I took it very seriously and submitted all the files requested, such as a Curriculum Vitae. Haaaa! It shall not be well with those people oooh! 🤣

I really felt jealous when I saw screenshots of people celebrating their eligible tokens, and I wished I were one of them—but it's all good.

Guess what?

After the eligibility check, another announcement came forth that there would be a lock on a good percentage of the tokens to be released within 12 months (a year). People really got angry because that means they won't be able to sell or transact the token. Well, that's a good plan for them to keep the crypto in the long run.

Guess what again?

The token got listed today at $1 and above, and within some minutes, it drastically dragged down to $0.5. Crazy!

My take is that I hate how these projects go on for so long with endless stress to build a community, and in the end, difficult criteria are brought in to reduce the quantity to be distributed—hence, boldly discarding the unqualified members. That's very bad.
