The feeling BNB ecosystem meme gives me:

CZ takes out 10 bucks, claiming he will use 100 bucks to treat everyone to a meal, and under conspiracy theories, everyone believes CZ wants to use 1000 bucks to treat everyone to Michelin food.

In the end, CZ really only spent 10 bucks, of which 9 bucks were spent feeding his friends. Retail investors took out 100 bucks, and CZ said, well, how about we split the bill?
