Airdrop decision, fud, Lord of the Flies economy

Airdrop decision

It will take time for people to adapt to EOS since many Ethereum ideas simply do not apply anymore. Given the speed of EOS, sending tokens to each account, one-by-one, has caused a bombardment rather than a gentle airdrop.

We have decided to take different means to completing the airdrop, while admitting that our previous airdrop action happened under the influence of excitement. It was exciting to have one of the first tokens distributed on EOS! Everything was done and organized in spare-time and after the work-hours, and therefore it was a great achievement. Currently, VeriCoin is the role-model for CETOS.io, given that people who worked on a project worked under similar conditions. CETOS.io is independent and has existed for not more than two months!

Therefore, the airdrop will not continue by using Ethereum token airdrop approach, while alternative solutions will be used instead. This means, all accounts that requested a correction will obtain it. Furthermore, accounts that did not get CETOS tokens will obtain their tokens too. It is only a matter of time, and nothing else.

We believe that (sometimes) the best solution is not the one that is straight-forward and which can easily be purchased. Such thinking does not evoke innovation, and is not in the spirit of a human struggle to success.

Why all the fud?

CETOS.io is combining the research and development of a celebrity known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, with the block-chain concept, entangling it into Health Care concept. There are certain individuals, hopefully not paid (by, lets say, banks), that target ideas with a great potential at the early stage of a development. Not everyone can be satisfied, and therefore, not everyone will like what we stand for. Furthermore, given the bad market year (2018) with many false promises, people are looking for quick solutions that would remedy the effects of a crashing market. CETOS.io is not such a solution, and therefore, it is not what some individuals were hoping for. To repeat, CETOS.io is independent, self-financed, has existed for not more than two months, and therefore not a quick-buck.

We have predicted that price of RAM will double until the 72hr unstaking period is over. We have unstaked the right amount of EOS to show that we are able and have the means to complete it. Certain actions and arguments of individuals spreading the fud was predicted too. Predicting the price as well as the false arguments was very easy. The current state of development is designed to work against the small companies, because the market is desperate for a positive change. Furthermore, people who bring problems to solutions, without any constructive arguments, did not deserve our time.

Lord of the Flies economy

Novel is an inductive hypothesis wrapped up in a fiction. As such, there will always be cases where it doesn’t hold as true. To understand what would really happen in such a hypothetical scenario, we need to look at the existing tribes. We may find out that their life-styles are something to envy, while preserving our civilization is what prevents us to do it. As a critique, here is a well-made music video which describes the Lord of the Flies economy model. CETOS.io refuses to be a part of such a model!

Hey!
I seem to have not gained my EOS. I had my EOS on a registered wallet, had more than 100, and a part of the genesis snapshot. I recall doing all the steps needed. I have buddies that got the airdrop, I was curious why I didn't.
