A reply further notes that investors who allocated on July 1 faced a -100% loss on public holdings with little private gains, plus a large tax bill from stock liquidations—mirroring the analogy of a crypto trader taking massive losses but being "bailed out" by a single private/early investment like an airdrop. > > "This is like when a crypto trader takes a massive L trading but then gets bailed out by an airdrop" --- ## Contributing Accounts - `@CryptoCurb` (https://x.com/CryptoCurb) - `@BdubFreebird` (https://x.com/BdubFreebird)
