The Importance Of Decentralization and Fair Distribution in NFTs 🧵👇 Let’s take a look at @MadLads as a prime example - ~62% unique holders, and that number has been steadily growing over time. Why does decentralization matter when it comes to investment and fair distribution? •Whales can’t manipulate the market. •Whales can’t eat and abuse distribution. •Sybil prevention (you don’t know the exact criteria for drops - could be based on amount of Lads held, time, or even specific wallets). This ensures stable price movement and fairer distribution over time. Retention is also key - more unique wallets mean more benefits from partner projects and a more resilient ecosystem. And here’s a reality check: you’re not seeing “shills” from your favorite KOLs about NFTs for a simple reason - it’s too expensive for them to manipulate the NFT market. Unlike shitcoins, where they can snipe enough supply with $8K and 10-100x from there (a single Mad Lad costs ~$8K right now + royalties). They’d need 100x more capital to play the same pump-and-dump games. We’ve already seen what whales and farmers did to other NFT collections - inflated floors, fake demand, and brutal exit liquidity. Mad Lads dodged that bullet. Armani also stated multiple times: “A single Lad holder = a whale Lad.” Equal rights, no matter if you hold one or one hundred. That’s why so many Lads owners chose Mad Lads as their home. Chat, what’s the consensus? We bullish on fair distribution and prevention of market manipulation, or what?
