"Stake your tokens with us and you could be the next cryptocurrency millionaire"

Forgive me - I thought that was tongue in cheek ? I thought the op was humorously paraphrasing some current, popular trend in ethereum contracts ?

No ? That's the actual function of these contracts ?

Can someone point me to one of these in the wild where I can see the actual pitch / advertisement ?

And where do you see the "make you rich part"?
I literally just saw someone advising people to liquidate their 401K to buy uniswap. Whether they explicitly say it is a get rich quick scheme or not, this is the message the marks are receiving.
Wow. Did that person give an explanation why? I follow "blockchain world" fairly closely and I really fail to see much value to UNI. But I have seen people speak quiet exuberantly about it. I am wondering what their thesis is.
"you could be the next cryptocurrency millionaire"

I don't see that as equal to "rich".

That page's focus on ICO-style complex token allocation schemes rather than actual use cases is a giveaway.
