This. I also can't wrap my head around certain quirks, like for example Stellar Lumens ( XLM ) was/is giving away (for FREE), 16 BILLION of its coins to former Bitcoin Holders.

I just can't wrap my head around paying to buy a coin that the creators have themselves given out BILLIONs of, for FREE.. How do you justify buying into a coin like that?

That like Burger King saying that we'll give FREE Burgers for a YEAR to anyone who has been a former customer of McDonalds (receipt required), but all others have to pay.

Even though I believe in their ( Lumens' ) use case, and they currently have live rollouts of their payment system in partnership with IBM in Asia, I just can't bring myself to buy something knowing they have millions of the same thing to many people for free.
