"The goal of BASE's TGE/airdrop is to maximize shareholder value. COIN shareholders presumably are not going to give up the rights of the BASE token without getting anything in return; otherwise, they would demand 100% of the allocation for themselves. From a shareholder perspective, it only makes sense to give up a portion of the rights to the BASE token if you think that by doing so, it will increase shareholder value." - @AvgJoesCrypto(Messari)
