First, clarify two concepts: WLD is a token, not equity; the entity behind the project is Tools for Humanity (TFH), which is a company with equity.

1. WLD Token Distribution (Total 10 billion tokens)

• Community (including users + ecosystem): 75%
• TFH Investors: 13.5%
• Initial Development Team: 9.8%
• TFH Reserves: 1.7%

2. TFH Company Equity (Core Entity)

• Founders: Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO), Alex Blania (TFH CEO)
• Major Investors (public):
◦ Andreessen Horowitz (a16z): Led early investment, shareholding not disclosed
◦ Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund: Key early-stage institutions
◦ Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS): Holds about 10% of WLD circulating supply (≈277 million tokens), one of the largest single institutional holdings
◦ Historical associations: FTX, Three Arrows Capital (3AC) participated in early investments

3. Key Points

• WLD ≠ Equity: Holding WLD does not mean owning TFH company equity, only token rights and governance
• Control: Sam Altman + Alex Blania + core team + a16z hold actual control over the project and TFH company
• Circulation Concentration: Early market makers held a very high proportion of circulation; current holdings by institutions like Eightco significantly impact liquidity

Regarding Costs

Brothers, switch to GT, it's way better than this stuff. WLD will at least break 0.1 this year. Don't believe it? Just wait and see.

It’s been hanging at 0.295 for quite a while, I haven’t checked in a few days, and yesterday afternoon it surprisingly got executed... hahaha, 0.3 was quietly broken just like that.

The early cost of enough days is so low that even friends who buy in at $10 are afraid.

Hold firmly onto WLD and Dogecoin, believe in Big Bull Cat. If you have money, add to your position.

Big Bull Cat, stop shouting. So many people have lost everything because of WLD. If you keep shouting, someone will start cursing.
