Incredibly difficult position for the team to be in, but IMO @openseafdn delaying launch was the right decision
I work with Opensea, so I imagine some people expect me to be positive about this news, but I'm a trader just like you
I've been using Opensea since 2021, I've farmed every wave, completed voyages, collected treasures, built up volume, etc. So yes, I want my $SEA airdrop just as much as the next person
However, I understand that for the token to do well, the company needs to thrive
As it stands, they are THE number one NFT marketplace with trading across 24 chains, have a great cross-chain token trading experience, are innovating with the release of AI tools, however their mobile app and perps are still in beta
A token is a great incentive for people to download the mobile app. While I believe most people would download the app regardless of an airdrop, especially NFT traders, I don't know of any company who wouldn't want to use this to their advantage
The more product offerings they have, the more users they'll have, and the better their token can do
But most people don't care about the company, products, or if it survives past TGE
For months, I've read many negative posts, accusations, and complaints on the timeline
I can promise you that the team sees all of it
Every tag, every reply, every post
Whether it's @dfinzer, @HollanderAdam, @SteveKBark or even community mods like @W00DS_eth, they see it, they take in the valid feedback, bring it to the rest of the team and use it to make the platform better
They genuinely care about their community and want to reward their users. Jump into the discord and you'll quickly see how serious the team takes feedback and how hard they're working to push their products forward
Opensea is building for the long term, which requires making short term painful decisions. It's a tough line to balance, but in the end, I believe they'll have gotten it right
P.S. I have to include the "paid partnership" tag because I'm an ambassador, but no one asks me to post this
