It looks like the airdrop gives you something like 25 WLD, or $50. I don't know what the actual numbers are but it seems to be around this order of magnitude. Your hypothetical spoon-wielding lunatic would be risking serious consequences in order to earn $50; that doesn't seem like a particularly strong incentive.

I think any system that wants to store assets would expect to store >$50 eventually and the incentives grow correspondingly.

People have been murdered (in the US) for far less.

cripple beggars in calcutta, for example, earn approx 30 cents per day and organized criminals maim and manage them in order to extract this amount. you're confident they wouldn't use a spoon to take 160 days worth of income?
