Bitcoin Forum

Hey, guys!
What's your opinion on airdrops? Is it a good way to draw attention of community & possible investors to a project? 

Airdrop is the signal of ICO because this is alert the Crypto investors so many peoples are looking to spend some time this Airdrop. It is really attract the peoples they are all investing in ICO so all the projects are open the Airdrop.
 But some peoples are thinking it is waste of time in this forum. My opinion is good for the further move in this project.

I don't think that it is a good option to have an airdrop before ICO. Since many members here are thinking of airdrops as a scam. Of course, no one wants to be scammed, right? There are airdrops here that are not paying their members. And that brings a bad reputation to airdrops. Although, airdrops in general is a good thing, but the reputation of it is not good at the moment. If you want to have an airdrop, make sure that you will pay your members well.

Carrying out an airdrop before the ICO is one way to draw attention to the project. It seems to play a role in attracting investors. Also very important is the structure of the project itself, its idea, team, etc.

I think it's good. You do not miss nothing. Join Welocal airdrop.

Only becomes a good way to attract more people to join in the community and at the same time it can be considered as advertisement too. But in another reason it doesn't seem a good thing because the airdrop participants will be affecting the market.

Yes airdrop is a good Idea before ico because another things you do you can only waste your time and nothing will be earn but in airdrops you will earn from home and good amount from this work with your computer.

Yes it is a good start for an ICO to have an airdrop. This can attract or collect followers and investors for your ICO. In this way you can way you can get people to see what your project is all about.

If viewed from the perspective of this investor as free and invisible coins will have good prospects but this is a good tool for promotion, In the case of any promotion will be done as long as it is in a healthy way. You can see the success achieved by Coin Havven

It's preety good since airdrop is the way to promoting the ICO before the main sale is start.
The airdrop must have a system that the airdrop hunters should had a referall to receive the reward so, the promotion is spreading fast

You can enroll yourself in an airdrop any time during the ICO. Some companies even offer it after the ICO when they have a large number of unsold coins. A few companies also prefer to burn the tokens which do not get sold. I feel every airdrop campaign should be enrolled in because you never know which campaign can turn fruitful for you.

I think this is an integral part of any company's bounty. That is a very large influx of audience, well, from the audience to investors a small step.

I think that yes is a good advertising move, in order to attract as many people as possible to your project, as well as to show to the same investors that their product is interested in people and even ready to take part of the project currency. Therefore, I think that this is a good idea.

for us hunters, is definitely a good idea!  ;D

It is a good idea because it develops a certain level of trust you can't with an ICO. If you run a prolonged airdrop too that seemingly will be better for you. Look at how Decred and Byteball have fared and they had airdrops to begin.

In my opinion, using an airdrop program to attract the attention of investors is the right choice, why? because when the airdrop program offers a good income for the bounty hunters the bounty hunter will be more and more, and after the news spread about a good project then investors will surely be interested to invest their assets to the project.

It could be a good promotion for the possible investors but it shouldn't be spam also. These airdropped tokens should have real value to the customers. If you just drop some shittokens that nobody will ever use then it's bad idea. People read enough of these shitty letters from email every day.

airdrop is good to attract investors but there is also a better bounty, airdrop and bounty is very important to start the ICO, I think the rules of airdrop and bounty are good projects belong to deeponion

I think that with the help of AIRODRO you can not attract the attention of large investors, but a lot of people know about the project and if these people really are interested in the project they can invest.

Airdrop is part of the marketing strategy and one effective way to build a community on social media pages specially in telegram .  It's like promoting a food by having a free taste .

airdrop can take big attention to the project... if the airdrop is good.. people try to do bounty also.. according to my opinion airdrop do huge work for successive ico.. thank you

Hi, there!

In my opinion, the airdrop campaign is vital in order to promote an ICO.
Is the easiest way to attract various investors and promote your product at the same time.
Although, you must be very cautious because there are many scams (https://cryptoorders.com/articles/recent-investigation-shows-81-icos-scams/) and you can easily lose your money.

Best of luck!

Yes, I think airdrop is an effective way to catch the attention of investors since airdrop participants needs to do some simple advertisement  tasks. But because lots of scammed airdrops  nowadays, some lose their interest on it.

Thank you! Unfortunately such things happen, like with some bounties ..
Sure no one is willing to be scammed

And what's on your opinion works better: bounties or airdrop.
The mechanism is a bit similar, I suppose

Thank you for giving an example, will look thoroughly at their activities

Airdrops normally happen when the ICO has ended,it is better to give those airdrops to the people because you wont need to burn the unsold tokens,it is the way developers are giving away tokens so that those people who will get airdrops wont waste their time,i am only joining these  airdrop tokens from the ICO airdrops because those free airdrops from nowhere are going to waste your time and effort.

Don’t think it is a good thing

Such a good comparison, I must admit! :)
Yeah, I see pros of launching an airdrop. Thanks

Yes, it attracts investors. I've experienced an Ico named Vinchain, they sent fee tokens to random eth address and people who own those wallets got their attention and started to do some research about that Ico. In this day, Vinchain reached hardcap and crowdsale ended.

no really worthwhile project will not do airdrop, this is my opinion, have you ever seen that makdonald's or facebook was giving out shares for free?

I do not think that airdrop in front of ICO is a normal undertaking, because investors obviously will not like it, it seems to me that what will be best done in the ICO process, so that investors take part in airdrops. So I do not think this is the right idea.

I think the opposite. A good ICO usually has enough hype without any airdrops or bounties. And I don't think that airdrop can attract a lot of investors. Those who participate in airdrops, they usually don't have enough money for investing, as they're just looking for free tokens. So if ICO has an airdrop then it's not a good sign for me, and most likely I would skip such ICOs. But there's one exection, is when airdrop is held instead of a crowdsale, than I would definitely join such airdrops.

The main function of the airdrop is precisely this, attract the attention of investors and build a large community and support the project.
For this case, the airdrop is a good option before ICO

Before the ICO? nope because those bounty hunters wont get good bounties,because of these airdrops there will be more people to get free tokens,that is why airdrops from these campaigns are normally happening when the bounty campaign is over and those unsold tokens are going to distributed to the community which is why ICOs shouldnt be doing airdros before the ICO has to start.

Airdrop contribute to advertising. It is a very good tactic if the project is aimed at attracting more people. The more people hear about the project, the more likely investors will be among them.

I believe it is one great strategy that various projects use to advertise themselves. With Airdrop, most there are referal programs and this helps to maximize telegram groups. This is very necessary because most investors consider the number of people in a telegram group as one of the factors before they invest in an ICO.

Airdrops are used for project presentation and in most cases, it is a free tool to attract attention because the project uses tokens that do not have or have a low value. This tool is also used after the ICO for open presentations and in my opinion, it is very effective.

I do not really like it !!! They are very bad for the market when they get tokens in the wallet, they then do what they want on the stock exchange))

I don't like Airdrops and I really don't like airdrops in project that will have bounty. I have the feeling that I have to work for something that the rest is receiving for free.

Not a good idea because these airdrop abusers are going to have more profits to those ICO investors are and hunters which would be the bigger factor on how will the ICO is going to achieve success.ICOs should be always in the mid or in the end of these ICOs because hunters and investors are the ones who make it happen,and these airdrop participants doesnt have any efforts.

IMHO, good airdrop can attract many investors, cause every participant will invite as much people as possible. And it's very cheap advertisement btw.

yes, it is. If you want to earn lots of investors. You first need to start with airdrops then ICO. The airdrops rule you should implement is referral or buying the token to join the airdrops.

I think the Airdrop campaigns are effective. I participate as much as I can. Everybody has to join the airdrops because it means easy money.

It's depend of quantity or daily airdrops if it to much it make u nervously, but if not u can see good project which will you intrested of.

Personally, airdrop is  not a good way. As a matter of fact, airdrop is the last thing i consider when it comes to cryptocurrency and i do not really see it attracting more investors. The only way i feel it is like to attract investors is if it has been affirmed to be tested and trusted, but ICO most times is more preferable. It gives room to larger publicity.

I think airdrop is a good idea before ico becouse the ico will become more popular and trusted . But there are a lot of airdrops which are not paying their members  , and thats not ok at all , that ico will not have  any succes in the future , just a few people will buy coins from that ico  . A lot of members think that airdops are a scam and thats why they think airdrop are  not a good idea before ico.

indeed they do not do any business but with this they make the investors interested to invest in the project and make the project a success. so I think the participants of the translator also deserve a little result from the project. imagine if none of the participants of the translator may be the investors are not interested in investing in the project and the project becomes a failure.

I view the airdrop as an additional source of income. It seems to me that this source can not bring a very large profit. I do not feel bad if the coins are useless.

Airdrops is one of the ways on distributing tokens to the public for free with just a simple sign up then you are eligible to recieve those free tokens.Therefore this do really create an awareness towards the ICO or upcoming sale.This is why we do see airdrops everynow and then when theres a sale. Getting investors in all sorts of marketing and next to that is on doing bounty campaigns and so forth.

People do not play games, do not drink beer. And they sit and work on Airdrop companies, because they can make good money, the main thing is to work hard!
I can recommend the coolest Airdrop- Luckchemy
You can ear much crypto

No, of course. But they do free tasting of new products (as for Mcdonald's), for example.
that's a similar scheme

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, that's actually the point. Sometimes airdrops can attract not future contributors, but people simply who want free tokens.
Though I believe with a good project such problem won't happen

It is a kind of promotion but airdrops are now getting scams so people think all the project related to airdrop might be scam.I think it will be better to start bounties than airdrops because it can help more attention and the people related to the cryotocurrency.So bounties are more better than airdrops befire starting ICOs.

https://themerkle.com/top-four-upcoming-cryptocurrencies-sans-icos/

Why doing either when there are projects that are looking to develop a product first before they decide on how to disperse their token. More important for me is to build a platform for token to be used first.

Project is scam very much, which use airdrop. More people think about get free money, when they partcipant in it.

Airdrop gave a big advertising effect some time ago. This is a good way to attract the attention of ordinary users to the project. If the project is aimed at a wide audience, airdrop is a good advertising tool, but for niche projects it is a waste of tokens.

I would say that advertisement and publicity is a must for a project, since it has to be introduced to public and it has to gain demand for the people. On the other hand, I would say that advertisement through airdrops just really makes a project tend to fail. since most of people who got access for airdrop are dumpers I would recommend to just allot it to other kind of campaigns. Not just airdop but also the bounty campaigns causes the prie to dump.

As for me it is all about marketing,giving some free tokens for airdrops,more people get involved in this ICO and this is good for projects

Indeed, the Airdrop program is truly a promotional art and costs very little. Participants in the airdrop are required to introduce some of the participants to the project's chat channel and discuss it with the manager.
Some of the giants will be attracted by the project and hence the size of the project will grow stronger.

I believe that Airdrops is a good tool for promoting the project and increasing its recognizability even before the launch of the ICO. For the participants themselves, it is also a good opportunity to take part in airdrp and earn free coins and become part of the project community, but it is not always possible to get a standing coin, more often it is $ 1-3 and in this case you do not even want to be interested in such a coin.

I think it is a good practice to spread the word about a project the downside is that most of the free airdrop holders dump it as soon as it lists on exchange causing big dump in price.

Airdrops are correct ways of building a community for your ico
When you equip your project  with bounties before ICOs
Then you have the perfect community for a successful ico

And yes it is a very good way to bring people to know learn and read about your project  

Airdrop is way of creating social awareness of a coin before the sales I. ICO stages. People get to know more of the coin and what they are into, how the coin team plans to execute the vision of the coin. Airdrop is not about getting free coin but is a market strategy of attracting multitude of people in social media . the social media is market place you can get people to be involved in what you plan to do. I believe Airdrop is

I agree with you. Aidrop before an ICO can draw attention to people about this project. so it can attract investors too..People will be aware that there is a new project on the way. they will become curious and search for your roadmap ang everything that they think it will help them see if the project is really worth investing for.

Airdrop is part of a marketing strategy and a effective way to build social media prominence specially in telegram.
It's like promoting anythink by having a free taste.

I do not think that now airdrops are generally something good, of course, if you think about it, it is a very good opportunity to distribute your tokens and possibilities to raise funds for the project, because on the airdrops the project should not be ready for some state.

Talking about my opinion - I think airdrops are not healthy for projects. At least nowadays projects.
Yes, they help to accumulate the community(sometimes) and it enlarges, but it can't help to find investors as good as free-hunters. And sometimes all airdrops goes to bots because now it is normal to see projects with 90k+ participants and I see ~300 messages in 4 days that I was not offline(for example one group with 30 participants had 3k unread messages, and this is the community).
If these airdrops will distribute on bitcointalk only, it may stimulate the interest of our community. Otherwise -  :-\

Airdrop >> ANN >> Bounty >> ICO

This is the process I see most of the ICO's adopting these days. Like others are saying that most of the airdrops are scam so people don't waste time, I disagree to that completely. There are 1000's of people joining Cryptocurrency world every hour (some with deep and some with very deep pockets) and the first thing they see is airdrop.

In a way airdrop attracts lot's of potential investors subject to you do it properly and filter out bot entries.

For at least couple of months down the line, airdrop is an excellent idea to kick start your ICO with.

I think it better to have an airdrop after the ICO period is over. Airdrop is only a program which a bounties issued and they only allocate a percentage from the total number of tokens for rewards to be given on those who signed up in their airdrop forms. So, for me it is better to have an airdrop after their ICO concluded so that they can count how much really is the allocation for airdrop rewards based on their tokensale.

I do not think this is a good idea because many big investors will think that the project is not very good and that it is desperate to attract new investors. I prefer the bounty campaign rather than the airdrop because most of the airdrop projects that I joined are very bad. I think a good ICO only needs a strong team and a great white paper, so the hype will follow.

I think it depends on the project but it will have a different impact towards different project. Some of them use airdrop to lure some possible investor and other companies use airdrop to promote their project by just asking participants to tweet or share to their facebook accounts.

Most times airdrops are for creating awareness for a given project just before their ICO commences. But the negative effect of airdrop on the project is huge. Many airdrop participants are always on the lookout for dumping their holdings once it gets to exchange and this act alone can cripple the price of such projects. I would say instead of airdropping tokens why not add it up to bounty stakes. Everyone should work their way out.

I have never taken part being some air drop because this is not so stable way to earn money sometimes you get $500 but usually you get like about 10 or $20.

Airdrops is a very effective way to promote a ico project as they can gather much attention on their target area with less cost. I had been doing such airdrops and it just eat up my time with no assurance that you can get free token.

I don't think airdrop is a good idea to draw attention of investors to invest on the project, it's only attract airdrop hunter to join and obviously many alt accounts will join for sure. The benefits in airdrop is the telegram group project can easily pumped to 10k members+. Airdrop is not a good way to promote a project imo.

hmmm .. airdrop before ico i think a very good strategy if a project is held airdrop before ico it means expanding community and that is the best way to introduce coin to society.

Actually, it's a yes. Since not all can afford ICO Token Sale. It provides opportunity to all but it has also pros and cons in the future. It can also help that got scammed to regain their losses. Airdrop is a big help in the world of cyprtocurrency because it is absolutely free and for the people to take part in the said ICO.

It's a good idea as it creates more awareness for the project and attracts more members to the projects community. But these airdrop participants break the project at the end as everyone is always waiting for an exchange listing to dump their tokens.

It all depends on how the Airdrop is organized and conducted. Many projects carried out by Airdrops with a large sum of distribution of coins more often crashed. All this happened because people who received coins sold them cheaply immediately after entering the exchange. Although Airdrop is a good marketing tool that attracts new investors to the project and increases the community, but only if they are wisely used.

Airdrops is not bad idea to have before ICO, probably they just need to limit the distribution of free tokens. Mostly of airdrops I have join are too crowded and later on the community itself died easily for nonsense participants. The concept of an airdrops should be properly organise that lead to get the market attention which they will see the ICO is not just a trash. So the best airdrop for me is to those ICO gives limited tokens in a limited time only.

Airdrop as a promotion for ico? i don't think that's a good idea because most of the one that join airdrop only search for free tokens and won't invest at the ico, the team also has to manage the airdrop and that's not an easy task to do, not to mention that the one that joined the airdrop can attack the project if there's some delay or they don't get the token. It's not worth ruining the project image for that, better to search another way to attract possible investors.

Yeah, I think it's a good way to advertise ... and to attract users and investors to the project

Sure! check the Ruby-X two airdrops which is ended on 17 Sep ! Don't miss the chance to get free tokens!

It surely is. Airdrops attract more investors and are a very good marketing strategy. People get to know about the project details, the pre-ico sales and the campaigns it is supporting. People can also get the additional benefits in the form of tokens for being a part of the airdrop campaigns. Airdrops attract a lot of potential investors and are a great way to create awareness about the ICO.

It is mostly necessary when growing hype around your project, investors nowadays don't care about large number of followers on social platforms, with little or no activity and interactions.
A little community geared towards the success of the project is incentive enough for investment.

Yes its a great idea for marketing new projects before and during ICO. Remember none of the airdrops are free, it is actually paid to microtask like following on social channel, posting on social media etc. So it increases the awareness of the project, spread the word to attract new investors etc. Also, it doesn't impact the price cause the amount is too small like 1 to 5 US dollar per individuals.

Frankly I dont think the airdrop before ICO is actually airdrop, the given amount of token is often small and it pay for the effort that the people attend that "airdrop" have to do (normally its about spreading that ICO on social networks).
I myself tend to stay away from that kind of airdrop as if you are eligible, you just get a very small amount compared to the issued token and that is not worth the time.

I have seen many ico project give offer by airdrop for all participants, but I think is very good way to make many investor are interested with how many people like and interested with the ico. its good way to make many people want to join and invest at ico project.

In my opinion, yes, I would. But you need to take into account that all factors affecting the value of the token in the future. On the one hand, airdrop will give initial fame to the project on the market. Important in marketing not to overdo it and it is important to remember that the project is in the main place by investors.

There are lots of ICOs who are doing airdrop programs because doing airdrop is very essential way to promote the ICO's projects to the crypto users and public investors. I think it is a good idea to have airdrop before launching the ICO so that people in crypto industry had already ideas abount their project and how it can improve the industry well or how it can contribute to the community.

an airdrop is good to promote a project, but to find investors its not so good. which of the investors wants to pay money for tokens that other people got for free.

In my opinion it's better if AirDrop is done during the ICO since it would boost the community of the Company and it would also increase the possibility of potential buyers since some AirDrop requires minimum investment for them to get it.

For me yes. It is better for only to take the experienced, join airdrop campaigns wheter it is legit or not. But it is only your primary level of experienced to join in bounty campaigns in the near future. It is also good if the ico has an airdrop. You can experianced the two in a time.

airdrops only contribute to uncontrolled followers, this is not very effective for marketing with prospective investors who are slightly more qualified, especially now because there are many services to add followers and really only as sweeteners in social media channels.

at least other types of campaigns make them understand the depth of the project so that there is the potential that they are the strongest potential investors, there is an assumption that 50% of investors actually come from campaign participants.

Airdrop participants only want coins and can participate in many campaigns at a time regardless of the progress of the project being followed. this is not effective at all because after the ICO ends there will be lots of chat asking about the results of the bounty only and causing dizziness for active investors.

airdrop is a ride in a promotional way but something if only for just maybe less so could be interesting. ESP. again for many containing a scam even though not fully. However, this became the vigilance herself to investors. Maybe if counterbalanced by the bounty would be better and more able to attract investors.

Actually, airdrops are a very useful way to spread awareness about the projects. But as everything, they should be well thought out. Also, it does not make sense to conduct airdrop on its own. It should be done along with advertising, bounty, participation in conferences, other events.
Another thing is that there are a lot of weak projects which carried out only airdrops since they aren't able to do more than that. Well, in this case, their coins will be sold immediately as they appear on the market.

Airdrops are good for advertising only in one case, if coins are distributed through referral links, then it will be profitable for both the distributor and the project owner.

They treat Airdrop differently . However, we can say with accuracy that it works! But how high quality is another question and every company knows exactly which way it should go

is it good to make an airdrop too if you are planning to make a project but  you have to deal with bounty hunters  which are too generous to make multiple account to get all of your coins and dump in no time. Go make some good Authentication for the member of the AD member to be qualified or maybe KYC,

Airdrops is a very bad idea to attract investors. The bottom line is that people get to register a coin, but real investors do not know about the project until they reach the group with this airdrop in the telegram.

I have to agree with this opinion, I think airdrops is not giving benefit for the active investors, airdrops is usually a method for spreading awareness and the way to advertise the project, but if its misused then it could be a big problem in the future when all the airdrop participants sold their coin at once, I personally think airdrop is not a good way to advertise the project, when people do less effort to gain the coin than it's mean the coin will have less value in their eyes, and they will sell as soon as they have the chance

I believe that airdrop can not in any way affect investors and attract their attention so that they invest in the project. Airdrop usually do, in order to increase the number of subscribers in their social networks.

I don't think airdrops have any influence on ice.  for me i see that as a waste of time.

Free tokens always draw attention, the thing is that airdrops may end up being something we don't expect them to be in the first place, they definitely attract people but some of us want to achieve greater things with tokens and the rewards given are not that great anymore.

They can attract investors interest when they've seen active community, the purpose of doing this is to make sure that the project will be able to create some noise and bring investors to their project, even in a small form of helped this activity really provide some advertisement developers wants to build
communications with possible investors so they needed to allocate some funds for this before or after the ico stage.

I think airdrop that are applied by most are not effective and nonsense because most tokens go to bounty hunters rather than those who believe in crypto and can hold it.

Airdrop is good after ICO as it is the one to gather more people on your platform.
You can get people join your pages and telegram group.
this will add more people to your profile.
Airdrop is one good marketing to do advertisement that can reach many people all over the world.

I think that airdrop has ceased to be a useful and effective way to attract investors and simply supporters to the ICO.

yes it is, since airdrops is a free token, many people are willing to receive it, it can help to increase the number of community that supports the project, by doing this, they can spread a word about their project.

the success of an ICO project cannot be measured only from the initial airdrop strategy, because it still determines the quality of ICO itself, even many airdrop strategies that actually cause the coin price to fall when listing in exchange

Of course I agree. This is a way to express yourself, to show your project. I welcome this kind of generosity.

Airdrop will be opened when sales have been made and get good results so that they can get large volume tokens because the distribution of tokens will spread to many people so that if you enter the market there will be a balanced volume and with air drops you can also get positive sentiment for new investors who know projects through participants who share projects.

Airdrops is not the smartest thing for cryptocurrency projects to do especially during the ICO because more often than not, it only draws fake attention and deceives unsuspecting investors into investing with the belief that the project has a good following.

I think airdrops should be done when a major milestone is met and it will be used to spread the news throughout the crypto community. This will surely ensure a better performance of the Token in the market.

Join DeStream ICO: https://destream.io/?referralId=adf52557d7994818a3bf8131262f2179#action=bountyreg

there are two side effect of airdrops in an ICO.
First one is the good side.
*** it can gather more people to like your pages and social media, it can be use to share your post and updates on your ICO project.
*** It is a big move to get more members on your telegram group also.

Second one is the bad side.
*** it may cause a dump price once the ICO is listed on any exchange, as airdrops are easy money.

Airdrop along with ICO is a good company. Airdrops gives limited tokens only in limited time and this is a big plus. Airdrop is needed before starting ICO.

Well, sharing Airdrop is one way to introduce the project to investors, and to boost sales of the ICO project

Offering airdrop before ICO may be good because it attracts more investors and makes the social community of the project more viable due to a large number of persons participating in the airdrop.

It seems to me that Airdrops are good only for cheating subscribers in Twitter, Facebook and so on. As a method of earning on Airdrops - I do not like. I think that the bounty is much better for both the project and the hunters

No, as an investor it not good to have a bunch of people in at a lower cost basis as you.  The bounty hunters have skin in the game as they traded time for their coins.  I would throw a huge bounty in conjunction with my ICO if I were to attempt a coin.  It's a very touch combination of bringing in money and getting the word out. 

I think its a good a idea. airdrops are usually used as a starter pack in endorsing an ICO. they sometimes use the KYC programs to get infos of the potential investors

Bounty is good before the ico sales because it attracts the investors that seeing a project that many people participating on it.

the bounty is more attractive when its ongoing the sales, you can get many token because the price in the first is too low and when the bounty finished i think it will be bull run.

Airdrop is the approach and extension of the developer to an altcoin or token! Normally, altcoin will be rewarded to the members after the sale! In general, most airdrop only symbolic price!

Some here are saying that bounty is more better than airdrop. In my opinion both bounty and airdrop is a good way of marketing the tokens. Everything is depending on the ICO project and how the team will make a better job in doing their part.

No for me airdrop is not a good idea before ICO bounty for me is the good idea to encourage some investors to invest in any project by promoting in social media to convince investors to invest if that project is good 

Airdrop is one way to spread awareness to the relevant audience of potential investors and eventual enthusiasts, coin teams will, from time-to-time, do airdrops. There's no problem with that, it is a marketing strategy to spread to the world what the project is thru giving people free tokens by conducting airdrop campaign.


Again it is just one strategy of the project developer/marketing team to spread the word about how good is there platform, a good investor will review, check everything about the project's platform even if there are free giveaways of token if that investor is knowledgeable they will still invest on the project that conducted airdrop.

It is good too ICO as an advertisement and to be known by the community. It is very effective if you balance the allocation for airdrop 1-2% of the total supply would be fine to make it more popular.

I agree with you they use airdrop to spread their community and to attract investors or buyer to buy their coins in the market, because if there are many people use those coins there are highest possibility that some trader will buy those coins.

Not particularly, it is mainly done to increase subscribers in their social networks, which can certainly attract investors to this project. But it does not work very well at the moment.

I agreevwith you airdrop is the cheapest way to build the community it is very good for before ICO is launched

it is a good way to draw attention as most projects are doing it now. the airdrops bring attention to the project as most participants perform marketing tasks such as retweeting , wearing signatures and posting thereby showing the project to potential investors. its actually great. bounties is another good way. when it comes to advertising icos, doing airdrops concurrently can be a good idea.

Yes I believe an airdrop before ICO is a good form of creating awareness and also attracting investors to participate from the ICO event, although at the beginning of altcoins creation airdrops are really good in creating such awareness but recently most are now scams mainly to increase subscribers in their social media forums.

It is a good idea because it help to promote such coin to become more popular. It also serves as a reward for the participants who help in promoting such coin.

You can also say it like that because the Airdrop is just a token that is discarded and is provided free of charge.
But if the airprop is a curved ICO, it's better to do it because it's just a waste of time.

I think that's a good thing, because the value of each turn of the airdrop for the participants is very low, only a few dollars. And that's one way for the team to get people to their tokens in the market with over a thousand altcoin.

I think it's a good idea before  ICO, it will attract more attention of the community and investors to their project. It seems like an advertisement or a tool to help them attract more investors to their project.

Yes it is ! Doing airdrops can help the ICO promote their projects to the public investors , in this way , they can give the crypto users a wider view about their platforms and how it can help to improve the community through gaining followers / subscribers to their social media accounts. But sometimes, airdrop can cause a decrease in price once the participants sell their airdrop tokens.

Airdrop is advertising and assistance in attracting small investment funds.  Even the bounty hasn't influence on the decision of large investors to invest,let alone airdrops.
But for investing's gambling fans airdrop before the start of the ICO is a signal that the team is counting on luck and is ready to share part of future profits for free

I am hesitant to provide my information / data.
I'm not sure airdrop must include KYC. to get 2 $, I think it's funny and avoid such airdrops.

My personal answer is NO, not good idea!
many project starting from airdrop before ICO sales will be sucks in the end but if doing airdrops after ICO sales it will looks like the project is still legit and promising. for example is Pundi X, airdrop after ICO just holding the token in the wallet.
