"The Founder Who Owns No BTCMobick"

Many crypto projects have been built on models where founders or early insiders hold large allocations of tokens, later dumping them on the market to maximize personal gains. In contrast, Oh Taemin has publicly declared that he neither owns nor will sell a single unit of BTCMobick.

Of the total effective supply of 21 million BMB, 70% has been allocated as public resources. The initial airdrop was distributed solely to individuals who completed tasks at their own cost, without any VC funding or institutional allocation.

This makes BTCMobick the first blockchain project where the founder holds no tokens, eliminating the risk of price manipulation or founder-driven dumping.
