Here's the thing about Web3 pricing logic that gets me every time:

$45 entry point? Totally reasonable, no big deal.

$2? That's highway robbery, obviously too steep.

Free mint? Standard expectation.

Free mint mixed with a paid tier? Absolutely overpriced, everybody says so.

Then there's the ICO play—everyone's calling it a scam until the moment they miss the launch. Suddenly it's "damn, why didn't I get in on that?"

The mental math we do in this space is genuinely something else. Fear of missing out rewrites the whole playbook.
