There's some kicking going on. Maybe more like poking, but there's clearly a point worth making here.

"so... what can YOUR pointless, overhyped, borderline-illegal token offering do?"

"erm, well... we help others to create more crap tokens, and we call ours 'gas' 'cos it's clever"

"great -- take my money!"

"we will, we will"

"oh wait... i don't have any ID, didn't do any checks or..."

"let me stop you right there, neither do we and we don't care -- now shut up and party hard, the champagne's arrived"
