A few days ago, when Da Shu @ dahongfei AMA, he mentioned Giveback 2.
Not elaborated, but the vague meaning is:
Is it possible to do Giveback again in the future.
I was actually a bit shocked when I heard that.
Because many new friends may not know that NEO did a Giveback once.
In 2017, NEO launched a Giveback Program.
Back then, during the Antshares era, a crowdfunding campaign was conducted. As the project developed, the team made a rare decision:
Return all BTC raised that year at its original price to early supporters.
And the most crucial point is:
NEO does not need to be refunded.
BTC will be refunded directly,
NEO remains in the hands of investors.
I am actually that group of people.
I invested 18.2 BTC back then, and later this BTC was indeed returned.
To be honest, this kind of thing is really rare in the entire crypto industry.
The logic of the vast majority of projects is:
The funding is the project's money.
Investors bear the risk.
But the logic of NEO at that time was actually very simple:
Everyone supported the project back then,
Now that the project has developed, return the money to everyone.
Keep holding onto NEO.
This decision was quite sensational in the industry back then, and many veteran OGs may still remember it.
Looking at this financial report again, many things are actually easier to understand.
The NEO treasure is currently worth approximately 460 million US dollars.
118 million cash
More than 1100 BTC
Over 40 million NEO
Over 40 million GAS
And the annual expenditure is about 18 million US dollars.
Simply put, it is:
There are many bullets in the account.
It is a fact that the ecosystem of NEO is not the most active at present.
But there is a very realistic rule in the crypto industry:
Many projects are not technically inadequate,
But the money was burned out first.
When the cycle changes, the team breaks up.
But if a project:
There is a lot of money in the account
The team is still here
The technology is still here.
In the future, as long as there are new opportunities in the industry, it actually has the ability to seize another round.
So my biggest feeling after reading this financial report is actually quite simple:
NEO may not be the hottest chain right now.
But this project has always had something quite special.
At the peak of the bull market, it returned the funds raised to the community.
And now, so many years have passed,
Its treasure is still very thick.
If one day Giveback 2 really appears in the future,
That could really become part of the entire history of crypto
A very rare thing.
