🚨This story will change your view of grants in crypto 1/ A young man works a full year on a public project at @Optimism, sweating, coding, pulling all‑nighters… In the end he gets the good news: Congrats, you received 500,000 $OP in RetroPGF Round 3. The price that day was $3.2, so on paper he holds $1.6 million. He thinks, ‘That’s it, I’ll change my life, buy an apartment, take it easy…’ 2/ But there’s a small detail they forgot to tell him: the 500,000 OP are locked (vesting) for two years and cannot be sold now. So he patiently waits. 3/ Exactly two years later, the vesting finally ends. The guy is happy, opens his wallet to sell and convert to dollars. What he sees: OP price = $0.31 only, so the 500,000 $OP are worth just $165,000. He loses 90 % of his effort in an instant. 4/ Even worse, if he tries to sell those $165,000, the liquidity is weak, it would slam the DEX and cause even more loss – essentially he’s trapped in a practically dead coin. 5/ That’s why when @LefterisJP posted the tweet: ‘Do you want your grant in $OP or in $USD?’ With a chart showing 93 % losses, everyone thought ‘USD, of course.’ 6/ The lesson to write in bold: Paying with the project’s token = gambling with your life. If the project succeeds you could become a millionaire. If it fails or the market drops you lose all your sweat. But the dollar (USDC/USDT) keeps your effort 100 % safe. 7/ If you’re a developer or creator and get a big grant, ask yourself only one question: If the price drops 90 %, will you still be equally happy? #كريبتو #Optimism #درس_من_السوق_الدب
