Bitcoin Forum

Hello everybody  ;D

I want to ask something, why every day even every time a lot of airdrop programs that appear? I do not know where they came from and how they came, suddenly appeared. thanks

Airdrops are meant to gain traders of their altcoins, to encourage someone to register to their website, free advertisement to their platform by means of retweeting or sharing on social medias, to gain thousands of supporters or to enlarge their social community on slack, discord or telegram, etc. Actually, that airdrop is an eye catcher to cryptocurrency's freelancers which as known as bounty hunters.

Airdropping a small proportion of coins is a good way for a new project to develop publicity and interest. This is why airdrop conditions often include having to retweet or share social media posts.

The reason there are so many of them is really a good sign - there is a lot of interest in crypto now and a lot of new projects appearing every day.

Oh, I see. lately I often see a lot of airdrop shared in facebook or twitter even telegram. it seems very popular

Airdrop still remains to be one of the best and most efficient ways to attract more people to your project. Despite the fact that many people complain that airdrops just attract bounty hunters and bots, they still work pretty good.

Is there any project that almost of their allocation just for airdrop ?

Simply it's a cheap advertisement that attract tons of users from the poor countries. You can fill your Telegram group that way in 2 days, up to 50k users who will spam there and ask obvious questions with a weird hindish  ;D

Most of the time, a project team wants to attract more people, so there will be drops.
For now, most airdrops are worthless.

It baffles me too,so many of them out there

Everything depends on the total amount of ICOs. 2018 is the year of new ICOs, so it is normal that all the token sales starts with an airdrop for the community. I think that the amount of airdrops will increase in the next years.

You're right, airdrop has filled my telegram account now. I was so confused how to remove the group one by one. want to delete it but it seems important. lol, that's annoying moment  ;D ::)

Because many projects are running ICO and some of them decide to increase holder wallets number and make their coin/token more popular

Airdrops are mainly used for advertising. When the fresh project appears how they can easily boost their marketing and influence? They seldom got budget for influencers and expensive means of promotion, so airdrop is the way to share their token for the promotion.

There are quite a few like EOS, Stellar, Ethereum Classic and Byteball but if you're referring to most recent ICO's only a small percentage < 5% of the total supply is usually allocated to airdrops

Airdrop is something that can help promote the more popular ICO project. and the cost of airdrop advertising will be less than the cost of broadcasting on the site. That is my opinion

Airdrops have become the fashion of the moment, since the beginning of the year every day there are many. The problem is that most will not pay anything and only someone will give some tokens of little value. The reason for the birth of all these airdrops in my opinion is that they take advantage of the work of people to get publicity for free, because the majority as I repeat will not pay anything

Airdrop is a way to advertise a project. But we don't really know if the airdrop is going to be done or not. And if the ICO is a scam or not. But with some luck, you can find a gem.

For project that is having ICO or already finished their ICO, I think Airdrop is the alternative for bounty, and it is way cheaper than doing bounty campaign.

As far as I can tell, airdrops are now a cheap and easy way to build community numbers for TG, TW and FB, which seems to be a significant factor in ICO scores.

Airdrop is used for ICOs, they spend a small amount of free coin donations per subscriber and participate in telegram and twitter tracking. They do so to create a community that constantly monitors and supports their projects

Now a lot of different airfields and many of them are not of interest. They just collect your data.

Teams doing airdrops for promotion own products. Attention from users good way to create business. Big Airdrops in which I did participate earn for me at least 500$, mainframe and Rebel.

Because when you create your own crypto, you want expand your currency, it's kind of advertising, but it's free.

Airdrop programs are one of the promotion in new arrivals so it is one kind of signal in all the project. But Airdrops token is additional profit in future this is one of the added advantage of knowledge and profit. Because we must active in new arrivals it will help to survive in Crypto platform.

indeed airdrop programs today are many and often appear as this is an opportunity to introduce the coins they offer to the crowds

because it is free so from that much hunted by people to get it, this is what makes airdrop more and often appear as long as have the right purpose and not scam

A lot because everyone wants to snatch a piece of pie in the form of my and your money! In fact, this is the sale of air and often unnecessary to anyone!

Big airdrop is rare thing now i think. today, only small amount and some of them did not pay us.

Most of the aidrop are just a waste of time: only a few have paid me something in the past. Now I see that every day they are born more and more; the main reason for me is because they increase their followers on facebook, twitter, telegram and other social networks very easily and without any cost

If you want check every airdrop just click here - https://icodrops.com , https://airdropalert.com . I will try explain to you with simple words what is airdrops. Airdrops - it's not action without reason, it's targeting promotion to community like once it was bitcoin.

It's really help project become popular and bring more invest join their ICO, but not all of them success, actually I need to said that most of them failed, I think there are a lot of project come out right now, include scam ICO, 100 airdrop below 5 project will become success, so I'm already lazy to join airdrop program

Airdrop is quite a good way to create an awarness about an ICO in order to gain investors attention, but this days, you have several cheat airdrop coming up, without value because of the project and the number distributed to each person, I tend to see it as a form of scam.

Stay away from them, I believe that 99% of the airdrops are scams, you won't get a decent salary, spend some time paying attention to the bounty and ICO better！

airdrop came from anywhere without being able to guess. its main purpose is actually to introduce or offer promotions, crypto and give it away for free. Maybe the goal is nice because as auxiliary media promotion, however much current that makes the airdrop is shunned because it contains only a scam.

It sounds like free advertisement for the ICOs and free money for the token holders. Win win. :)

One of the marketing strategies to introduce their tokens and build a great community, Especially on the telegram.

too many scams and i don't even know why people still trying to win something from airdrops . this is almost impossible i think .

Airdrop is another way of advertising.
you need to follow and like their pages.
you need to join their telegram channel.
gaining more member on the tele group will get more investors.

Most airdrops are currently are fakes. Created in order to make quick money, by deceiving people. Perhaps in order to promote telegram channel, then change the name and theme. I've seen ICO channels change their name and advertise other products.

airdrop program is to create awareness and to make people develop interest in their project. Airdrop makes lots of persons richer, when the token hits exchange and does either 10x, 20x from ICO price

I think giving airdrop to investors, holders, or participants is one of the best way to invite investors, create stronger community and gain trust of project supporters. I guess, that is one of the reasons why some ICOs or projects are giving away free coins during their ICO, to get more investors.

an airdrop program emerges as a form of coin campaign in social media, as a tool of introducing a coin to the public (investor) that the coin exists in sales and moves in transactions, while the airdrop comes from the company, usually airdrop is done before ICO or Pre-sale.

When a virtual currency project releases its own currency and sells it to the public to fund the development of the project. Some ICOs will choose to airdrop a percentage from total tokens (usually 5-10%) out of the community to spread the name and attract more investors.

There are still good projects, but it is very difficult to find them, probably 90% are scammers, people fill all airdrops in the hope of a big profit.

This is just a marketing tool. They will only pay a small amount for airdrops and get a lot of attention.And with some airdrops, they simply don’t plan to pay！ >:(

I think most of them are companies or entrepreneurs who want to develop their company better. by introducing them to the public through an airdrop program. so that way the company will be more easily known and growing. maybe that's my opinion.

Since most accounts receive only a few dollars, it's not a big deal because you've lost almost that amount of money to move on to the trading floor, but this is the marketing approach that every project wants. People know more about them

Hahah, I agree with all of you. it seems that airdrop is very beneficial for the progress of a project. for success, a small fee for advertising, attracting people with airdrop is the best path. But very unfortunate if most airdrop is scam & just want to get fast money only.  :'(

The crypto will be the ICO which will be airdrops in the currency world. These are the basis of this money market. Thanks to U AirDrop and ICO, this market exists.

Yes, correct. Airdrop is essential for a project to distribute their tokens to people to gain popularity and price volume. Its necessary since they cant just rely on selling their tokens to everyone who doesn’t even recognize their project the first with.

Simply to get maximum exposure of their project in this competitive world,not just airdrops there were hundreds of bounty threads were created everyday.But most of the airdrops and bounties are not worth to do because we will end of wasting our valuable time on promoting a scammy or useless project so before joining bounties make sure that project is worth to do or not.

indeed today many airdrops are emerging and not clear from where the source. then we are required to select it first by analyzing it by reading around the airdrop. because some also use phishing sites. it is very dangerous

On everything concerns crypto, is a function of program from time to time to meet up the target at a given point in time. Therefore airdrop is also program that has a maximum number limit to participate, and also has an ending date.

I think free airdrop bring a free audience and definitely free publicity of project and if people inspired with the project they automatically invest founder don't need to advertise with google or youtube.

I think airdrop is mean free advertisement. If you do airdrop free advertisement. I think very good method. all token should be same method

I think airdrop is essentially about developing social branches so that people have confidence in the project by looking at the number of participants. How to say airdrop gives life to the project.

airdrop is the most popular way to introduce projects to everyone and it's easier to gather participants to join telegram, facebook and telegram

Airdrops are meant to gain traders of their altcoins, to encourage someone to register to their website, free advertisement to their platform by means of retweeting or sharing on social medias, to gain thousands of supporters or to enlarge their social community on slack, discord or telegram, etc. Actually, that airdrop is an eye catcher to cryptocurrency's freelancers which as known as bounty hunters.

Many, many cash grabs I think. Lots will be legitimate, but sadly I feel a lot of them aren't going to be very successful in the end. It's a shame, but you can immediately see the cash grabs, teams keeping 40% of supply, almost no need for an actual token/coin in the first place etc. Makes the whole place look dodge

Now this is a trend business. Many create several projects at once and conduct airdrop for them.

Young businessmen want to earn and realize their ideas

because the more that market them so that Crypto made many airdrops popping up. but not everything is promising because of its many airdrops only some are indeed proven to pay. the rest of it's all just a scam and not reliable at all.

OP register in all airdrops because that's they way to promote their ICO

They give free tokens/coins so you will believe in their project and plan

All of airdrops are not real like they always scam so better for you to find the legit

indeed, now many airdrops emerge from unknown sources. I also do not know what the back of the airdrop is popping up. which I know now airdrop uses the system send 0eth to a particular address

Airdrops are part of their marketing strategy and I think this can help the company to be eligible in listing with the exchanges as this is one of the requirements to have a specific volume of member. Bounty hunters loves to participate in aridrops because its a free money but of course you still have to be careful because most of the airdrops are scam.

Now there are already a lot of channels on Twitter, Facebook, telegram, where many drops are announced daily. Unfortunately, to get to something worthwhile chances are almost zero. A huge number of participants and a small number of distributed coins do not bring any income.

In my point of view, Airdrops is a freeway of giving tokens, coins or bitcoin in participate who joined their airdrops campaign. It is also an easy way receiving tokens a less effort compare to a signature campaign.

Airdrop is a part of the campaigns of the ICO, ALT and Bitcoin campaigns. Besides from bounty campaigns they made, it is also a part of their market strategy to promote, advestise and many more. That's why you always see them in many websites. However, Not all airdrops is worth it. Some tokens from airdrops has no value and you can also scam in airdrops. So always be careful in joining in airdrops. Choose wisely.

But these are the basics of airdrops... small tasks for large number of people. Bigger problem is that most of the airdrops are scams and tokens are never distributed...

Many projects are using airdrops as a way to promote their projects because the crypto space is extremely competitive at the minute. People care about a project more if they already hold some of the tokens so its a good marketing tactic.

nevertheless, you can sometimes get on a good project and get tokens without attachments, which then can bring a good profit, but this happens rarely.

But there are many scams also. Some are without roadmap nor whitepaper ans some other are never listed on exchanges. That's why  it is very risky also because some are just collecting personal info through their form. If  you are unlucky, you might fill up your private keys in your form.

Airdrops are very vital in any ICO. An Airdrop is an option in an ICO but plays a significant role in any project. Airdrop is used to draw audience together. It invites a lot of individual in any project. This go a long a way to bring in a lot of inverters, as inverters mostly considers number.

it attracts more people to know about their coin. they reward a small amount of coins but with this it will make people aware of their coin. mostly airdrop today are scam and they just want to attract people.

Airdrops are a very important marketing method in the cryptocurrency market. This is something that many businesses will do at the ICO stage. This is normal!

I think the main reason for airdrops is to increase the number of project's telegram chat members it's like a tool for a project community increasing

Since most accounts receive only a few dollars, it's not a big deal because you've lost almost that amount of money to move on to the trading floor, but this is the marketing approach that every project wants. People know more about them

Airdrop is a part of the program of some ICO in order to help to promote their projects so that it could attract more investors to invest to their company but most of these airdrop are not friendly to the hunters and as to the participants as well because most of these are unsuccessful that if they are less to zero value in the market but some of these are just a scam that it might steal your private keys and account details in which a total waste of time.

The airdrop must come from projects that are selling presale or crown sale, and a small airdrop fake to pull group telegram members. You can see a lot of new projects posted on Bitcoin every week, plus they run bounty and airdrop campaigns to engage the community and investors. If the project is successful, the reward from airdrop will be given to you after some time, but if ico fails, the reward will never be paid because it is no longer valid.

To continue with I'd like to share my opinion. Airdrops are fun. Among tons of rubbish you can sometimes find some decent perspective projects (for example I joined Semux - a decent project). A lot of airdrops are used to make a database of wallets/e-mails and accounts for various malicious acts.

99% of programs on the market are Scam . And so the airdrops allow you to draw attention to your product , because there are a lot of projects on the market and it is necessary to attract investors and airdrops is a very good solution.

We keep seeing many of those airdrops out there on daily basis basically because many intentions is just to come and scam or rip people of their hard earned money. Someone just needs to be very careful, i mean extraordinay one

Actually some project arrange airdrop before their ICO because of increase their social media subscribiers.Some scamer also follow this way.But some good projects also arrange airdrop for storng community and increase holder.

Airdrop is quite a good way to create an awarness about an ICO in order to gain investors attention, but this days, you have several cheat airdrop coming up, without value because of the project and the number distributed to each person, I tend to see it as a form of scam

I don't think you need to go to the airdrop. I may have entered the forum earlier than you. I think airdrops are a waste of time. Do not believe me, you can try.

one word, marketing :)

It's very much now that every project's airdrop program may have done that. Probably a project that does airdrop for several reasons. Maybe they want to promote their project by handing out free tokens (airdrop). But usually the tokens obtained from airdrop are not much. Therefore airdrop is just entertainment alone.

On everything concerns crypto, is a function of program from time to time to meet up the target at a given point in time. Therefore airdrop is also program that has a maximum number limit to participate, and also has an ending date.

This is the way to earn some money on the crypto world because once the community joins the airdrop and they support it.  :D and it will have a value because a lot of people will join.

Because they cost almost nothing, they give you a dollar worth of a new coin that has a very high potential to never see the light

airdrop is the simple task: join telegram, like fanpage fb, follow twitter or just need fill google form. with small reward, this is best way to make a promotion for projects.

Some ico is hosting an airdrop for many reason, some of the ico is doing airdrop to boost their marketing and attract more investors in their token. They lend small allocation of tokens to be given to those users who advertise their coin in the users social media and in return, they get airdrop tokens. And some ico also if their sale didnt make it to the hardcap, they give the remaining of their tokens to the investors as a form of airdrop.

Airdrops are meant to advertise your own coins. You will find that all the airdropped coins are in ICO. You want free coins. He wants to attract attention and be invested.

Market of cryptocurrencies is constantly developing. And there is no surprise that more and more airdrop and bounty programs appear on the market. More projects need promotion that can be done first of all through airdrops.

I think airdrops are also a way of propaganda. A good airdrop will let more people know about coins, so there will be more investors. This is a very good way.

What's the purpose of the airdrops in the first place? that would also answer your question, promotion, advertising, exposure and overall marketing strategy, there's also a lot of ICO's including the scam ones, failed and abandoned that's why there are so many airdrops that give a little penny to its participants, just be careful to some campaigns others are requiring to download some programs that contain viruses or KYC to its participants given the fact that it is just a small amount of tokens.

That's a cheap way to advertise and make their project known by most. It's been effective since there are too many bounty hunters out there that likes to stay with airdrops.
If it's popular to air drop people more investors will know it so they get free money and investors might get interested to it too.

before all the airdrop was meant to be profitable but now their is only many airdrop that will scam your wallet or took some data about you for the exchange of the airdrop .

Hi guy, I think when the ico need to announcement their ico to wide investors, they will to the airdrop! and the airdrop help them grow big comunity!

Yes, more and more airdrop programs from various projects. In my opinion, Airdrop aims to build the popularity and community of a project. By distributing several coins for free by indirectly advertising projects for public viewing, even attracting investors into the project.

Airdrops are the easiest way to earn free money you'll just need to sign up and wait for the team to distribute the token just like what I did on Havven airdropp and I've gain a lot of profit on it.

I disagree that 99% of Airdrops are scams! There are MANY that are scams, but there are many that are not.  Many of the big players offered airdrops when first starting out as a way of exposure etc, i think it's just a case of DYOR.

Well there are so many projects going on in the space so most ico choose to do airdrops to that they will attract members in their social media page and telegram so that people will know about  their ico which could help them to sell out quickly.

Cause they want to be a top 1 airdrop in crypto currency thats why so many many airdrop have been.posted or anounce!! But they other airdrop are scam and others are legit ,, and be carefull of the airdrop they might need a fees and thats a scam!!

Because in this way companies advertise their crypto currency. This is beneficial to those who give out, and those who receive free coins.

I think most of these ICOs are doing it for different purpose,
1. some projects sold out in private sale so for them to build a community they airdrop part of the tokens
2. Some projects are doing it to scale the hurdle of the SEC, not to classify their tokens as securities
3. Some projects are doing it from scratch to have a fair distrivution on their tokens, and build a strong community with long term interest in the project

This is common due to dozens of ICO that is entering the cryptocurrency market. Promotion is one of the things that they want to render by having an airdrop. Those marketing staff want airdrop to have multiple access to social media.

Because among airdrop many scammers who are in demand for airdrop company for the usual promotion of sites.

In general, some coin drops might result worthwhile whereas gaining considerable revenue from freebies will turn into a mostly unrealistic effort for the best part of crypto fans.

I think airdrop and ico are not much different. the fact is the same as issuing new crypto to gain popularity and have great value after entering some exchanges. but every airdrop and ico has a mission vision that is certainly different from each other

I have participated in many airdrop groups on the telegram; I also feel uncomfortable because every day there are many messages appear on my phone. I think airdrop campaigns cannot force people to participate in their telegrams

because Airdrop means "marketing".. a lot of ppl go on an ICO channel as "flies" when they heard about free coins.. even if mostly are shitcoin.

Airdrop is one easy way to gain exposure. In exchange for simple tasks, you gain a small amount of tokens. The ico team gets what they wanted, you get rewards for the little time + effort put in.

Simply because it is their way also to promote their project and attract people of their Ico. However, we should only choose the best airdrops because some airdrops these dats isn't paying and some of them are just paying too small amount of their token which is non valued.

A lot of ICO there and most of them running an airdrop to i troduce the project to crypto community. Well airdrop is a best way to grab community to their telegram group and social account follower. However, doesnt mean all airdrop is good. Be choosy because not all has a good motivation. There are scam and not paying airdrop. Must pick airdrop in this forum not on telegram channel or twitter

I also agree that not all the airdrops are scam, but most of them really are scam, I have joined a lot of airdrops now and only few succeed, also some that those succeed before turned scam too but it a very rarely cases.

Airdrop programs become more popular as it gives you free chance to obtain a token, it also advertise the coin to gather a crowd of new investors.

Each ICO project has a bounty program
There are so many ICO project => There should be many airdrop programs.

Actually, they can create as many token as they want then use it to pay for airdrop/bounty. They lose nothing.
I dont care how many tokens they give away in the airdrop/bounty program. The most important thing is that these projects will success or not!

the best way to collect your information for free ;D ;D ;D

Airdrop has become very prevalent due to the fact that most ICOs are going private. if projects can raise all the capital they need through private groups or syndicates to execute projects then they can avoid the hassle of kyc in crowdsales and the unnecessary headaches of the the SEC. airdrops helps to create and keep the communinty engaged in their project

Because airdrops is a way to attract the potential clients and be the investors in the making. So airdrops is a gate to invite the visible profit from the group. Those who participated in airdrops, not of them are all simple person but some are something in this world. That's my thought.

Airdrop is the modern way of advertising, they airdrop so they would be advertised, It is much effective to do some airdrop for you project because it is the fastest way of getting participants and investors in your project. There are many airdrop programs obviously because they wan't to be known by some investors who will made their project a success.

of course more airdrops program is caused due to growing number of ICO project. ICO is usually project will hold a promotion through airdrops and also the bounty. So it's no wonder, with the ICO project more and more popping up. The more the airdrops program also appear. 

It's a genius marketing stragegy. By asking users to promote the product (by joining their Telegram, facebook, twitter,...), then reward them with a fair amount of tokens, everyone is happy.

I would like to say if Airdrop still remains one of the best and most efficient ways to attract more people to your project. Audiences are meant to get their altcoin traders, to encourage someone to sign up to their website, free advertising to their platforms in a way retweeting or sharing on social media, to get thousands of supporters or to expand their social community.

This is an attempt to draw attention to projects that have decided to use another model of the distribution of money. I am neutral to such projects, among them there are normal ones, there is a frank deception, it is necessary to study the project carefully before getting into the program of generosity.

I want to say, if Airdrop is used for ICO, they spend a small number of free coin donations per customer and,
participate in a telegram and Twitter tracking. And if ICO is a scam or not. But with a little luck, you can find gems.

All projects use these to get initial promotion rolling. It has become like a trend now and thus all new projects follow the same route.

Nowadays every online items going to be in the blockchain so they are releasing their own product or service by using new icos . for that icos make some popularity they are doing airdrops. i think ...

Many scammer looking for new way earn much money by creating new project airdrop with donate system work to get airdrop token. Many airdrop was success collected more 100 ethereum balance and airdrop owner was run away with ethereum balance donate by airdrop participants. Last few day we have know some airdrop project have donate to received airdrop token and giving good promised listed on marcatox but airdrop was scam and owner was run away with 300 ethereum balance.

With many airdrops that pops up, I think it is very good. Airdrop himself present to add to the interest of all the bounty hunter. In doing so they will also be interested in their project and could add to their members. With such bounty hunters will also increasingly crowded with the airdrop.

Some dev team want to increasing token holder. Beside that, i think its to attracting peoples to know more about the project and wish the peoples interesting on their ICOs

it is very logical if many airdrop programs are popping up ,, because the first airdrop program is followed by many people and short, the second token given is smaller then than that the company easily do ads on airdrop even though i think lots of airdrop are spam ,,

airdrop is becoming an advertising trend for ICO projects keeping both the community and the most cost effective and efficient way to attract large investors through social media.

Airdropping a small proportion of coins is a good way for a new project to develop publicity and interest. This is why airdrop conditions often include having to retweet or share social media posts.The reason there are so many of them is really a good sign - there is a lot of interest in crypto now and a lot of new projects appearing every day.

Aidrop is a very useful tool for developers to advertise their product for a very low price. For a small payment, an ICO developer receives: a registrationon the website, an e-mail subscription, followers on twitter / facebook / medium, retweets and reposts (one or more, depending on the conditions of the airdrop). By the beginning of ICO, Twitter accounts of ICO's have more than 10k subscribers. For an unsophisticated investor this is a very good sign. He thinks that such a huge number of people are interested in the project ... and invests

in my opinion, in this way companies advertise their cryptocurrency. This is beneficial to those who give,
and those who receive free coins and also many who profit from it.

Every airdrop doesn't come so suddenly. The developer and team always arrange the best program of airdrop to gain more community and expand the ICO projects. However, if you get some airdrop programs from telegram, mail, or other social media easily and so suddenly, don't take it too easily. You must learn and analyze theme whether they are real, true, and trusted or not. They may be legit and may be also scams.

Airdrop company in 80 cases is a fraud. With the help of airdrop, many people promote websites or simply promote something. I do not advise to participate in airdrop.

simply because it's cheap and easy to attract investors. but there are 1 thing concern is that there are too many cheater should need to tahy change the method of how airdrop can kyc or do something to stop the cheat happens lost balance

Airdrop meant to attract people more people to your project and it's cheap advertisement, But nowadays most of them are garbage

There are so many airdrop because ICOs takes a long time to end and sometimes ICOs do not reach its target. With airdrop lots of people will participate because it is free plus the coin develop will be easily distributed. It also gains publicity through facebook amd twitter share / repost.

A few coins have been very succesful attracting users with airdrops and other projects are adopting the same method.
It gets a buzz going about the coin.

There are still good projects, but it is very difficult to find them, probably 90% are scammers. Some ICOs will choose to airdrop a percentage from total tokens (usually 5-10%) out of the community to spread the name and attract more investors.

Airdrop is a fast and easy way to promote project. There are recently many projects reach hard cap on pre sale and cancel  main sale. So airdrop is a little compensation for community members which cannot take part in ico.

Don't waste your time airdrop. In my opinion, most of the programs do not represent any value and will not bring a dollar at all.

Basically airdrop is a procedure of distributing tokens by awarding them to existing holders of a particular blockchain currency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. It can also be considered a marketing strategy, since its goal is usually to spread the word about a certain product, coin or exchange in the world of cryptocurrencies. Here is a link that could probably help you answer other questions regarding airdrop:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1876879.0

Do not believe in airdrop projects. 99% of them are scams, which will only waste your time.

It's an easy way for them to get followers etc to look more legit for their ICO.

Mostly people use airdrop to ignite someone  to join their community and to support their project by promoting or advertising their project using simple way of advertising like joining their community in their  telegram channels and alike, with the promise  that  they are giving a free token to their participants as reward by joining their community.  

Airdrop is good but  we must be careful if we want to join airdrop program, because there are a lot of scam airdrop.

Airdrops program is another way to spread news about their project and it have less expenses that of running bounty programs. But sadly most airdrops doesn't have a good results, besides it only creating discouragement from the members who partly give their services and efforts.

I think because airdrop is a place to promote new tokens and airdrop is still a lot of devotees in the community. To fill the spare time of the newbie while upgrading to follow bounty or larger project income

There are a lot of projects (both real and scam). They created airdrop to promote their projects and tokens. That's why there are so many airdrop programs

The team use the airdrop to make people be aware of the project but due to the nature of it sometimes only a one time task, people who joined it are only interested of the coins and will not be interested in the project to know if it will be worth it to invest on it. It  may be less expensive for the team to implement airdrops but I think bounties would be more effective because there would be consistent relaying of information since every time there is news, the bounty hunters would share it.

There are a lot of airdrop programs to give a headstart to people who have received the airdrop and start trading it in different platforms. Also, it is also used in order to gain publicity to their project.

This means that the crypto market is increasingly heterogeneous and the more heterogeneous, developers see the opportunity to take part by trying to throw into the coin market with the initial intention of speculating while looking at the formation of market segments.

Airdrops are meant to gain traders of their altcoins, to encourage someone to register to their website, free advertisement to their platform by means of retweeting or sharing on social medias, to gain thousands of supporters or to enlarge their social community on slack, discord or telegram, etc. Actually, that airdrop is an eye catcher to cryptocurrency's freelancers which as known as bounty hunters.

Logically we join the airdrop without requiring capital or free, and from airdrop we can get the coins after which we can sell. Because it is free and also profitable of course many of its enthusiasts. The more enthusiasts the more new airdrops emerge.

Because they collect data on us: mail, wallet addresses , our links on the forum, twitter, facebook and others. And then they use for their own purposes, various spam, creating a lot of accounts, etc. And of course frankly a lot of scammers

agree with all of you, mixed all who participated in this thread said that airdrop is beneficial for the progress of a project, in order for the project to succeed, cheap advertising costs, attracting people with airdrop is the best way.

Most of the aidrop are just a waste of time: only a few have paid me something in the past. Now I see that every day they are born more and more; the main reason for me is because they increase their followers on facebook, twitter, telegram and other social networks very easily and without any cost

airdrops are usually programs held by the ICO project. Then when the number of ICO project more and more, it's no wonder if the amount of the airdrops would be more and more as well. This is good, because more and more options. but you also have to be careful. Don't get fooled, and get the airdrops from projects that scam.

Airdrops is purposely for gathering investors to participate in a particular project and to have a high populated community.
But this days, scams has dominated airdrop to an extent that legit ones are minimal. I'll advice you to look into bounty campaigns and forget about airdrop. 

They have so many airdrops for now everyday i'm always seen some airdrop, They doing that because they have some project coming and they given them some free coins or using airdrop. So that they will know and going to participated on it.

Airdrops are used for promotion. If there is a new ico project and the average project they rarely get budget for promotion, so airdrop is a way to share their tokens for promotion. Due to the increasing number of projects the airdrop program will emerge.

I think the reason why so many airdrops programs because they want to encourage some investors to invest in their project that's why they giving free coins from airdrops..

Don’t be fooled, the majority of airdrops are just fake projects with only one intention: Collect personal data from people in the crypto world in order to scam you later. I stopped doing Ardrops when I realized that. Rarely got the coins in my wallet that I wasted time filling out google sheets...and a bit later got phising emails. Surprise surprise

As more and more airdrop enthusiasts, and more and more companies do not have much money to do promotions, so they choose airdrop to promote their projects. Because with them follow the airdrop, will indirectly promote the program they have.

Airdrops are very vital in any ICO. An Airdrop is an option in an ICO but plays a significant role in any project. Airdrop is used to draw audience together. It invites a lot of individual in any project. This go a long a way to bring in a lot of inverters, as inverters mostly considers number.

Via airdrop, the team attracts customers in their project and gives the appearance of activity and interest to the project. I think it was useful last year, but today it doesn't work!

Many attract people in twitter or telegram fraudulently and then change their names or sell a group or channel! I often notice such ways of fraud! :-X

Airdrop still stays to be truly outstanding and most proficient approaches to pull in more individuals to your venture. In spite of the way that numerous individuals gripe that airdrops simply draw in abundance seekers and bots, regardless they work really great.

yeah because airdrop is free coins from development without you hardwork not like bounty. so i think with alocation 5% for airdrop is good
and have to remember coins from airdrop is cheap

You know. Airdrop is easy money because people will just come and it will spread like a virus  ;D best way of airdrop is having a staking because you can earn more and people will hold it on their wallet and stabilize the value.

B/c Airdrop is the best way to adv the project to newbie !

most of projects needs a huge community so ico owners are using airdrop campaign to build a strong community. we can take HYDRO project as a example. they have great community because they gave a great airdrop

Airdrop is the modern way of advertising, they airdrop so they would be advertised, It is much effective to do some airdrop for you project because it is the fastest way of getting participants and investors in your project. But too much airdrop will make you confuse and need to choose because some of them just spam, no value

airdrop program is needed as a means of promotion and develop new projects to the public. airdrop is required to retweet or share links to social media people who join. so Dev will get a lot of support and investors for their project.

The purpose of aidrops is to increase volume especially if they are not listed on any exchange thats the one way to be listed.

The number of airdrop programs are offered by ICO to introduce their tokens in the market. The ICO test the extent to which token they will offer this get interest in the eyes of the community and whether it is enough to gain public confidence. Furthermore, this airdrop program become an evaluation to improve the marketing strategy and promotion of tokens that ICO has to offer.

Could be a variety of reasons.

For one, it's a good way to get your name out there. And frankly, it's a great idea, even if you're getting a bunch of worthless coins (hopefully not though!)

Also, they're getting more popular because people are posting online about them more often.

Why? Referrals!

There are many airdrop projects that hope to quickly publicize their projects in this way, and some projects can enter the exchange after community development, so that the project is likely to gain huge profits.

You guys need to be more careful with airdrops caumpaign now, do not just randomly signed up on it. Sometimes they just want to scam you, or we might provides them help to scam investors. And sometimes they just want to collecting our data, such as email and phone number.
We need to be more selective on choosing airdrops

Airdrop is actually set up to provide an opportunity for hunters to get a free token so do not be surprised when every day comes Airdrop and the other goal is to make ico more in the future in order to boost the exchange rate of a coin.

I think airdrop is a marketing technique commonly used by new project developers. And maybe airdrop program is very effective to form a community, which of course with the aim to raise sales tokens during ico. So maybe we will still see this situation for quite some time.

if I think this is a marketing genius stragegy that we use, because if Airdrop still remains one of the best and most efficient ways to attract more people to our project later, then free advertising to their platform by retweeting or sharing in social media, to get thousands of supporters or to expand their social community.

I also often encounter airdrop. I think airdrop is necessary, because in the presence of airdrop sales tokens or coins can increase and can attract the attention of investors.

Airdrops are a kind of advertising project. Thanks to the free distribution of coins, many people pay attention to this project and invest in it. But unfortunately most of the projects are scammers.

Airdrop is part of project they still appearing beacause it attracts a lot of investors in their presence it shows the good characteristics of project thats why there are so many airdrop programs in this forum..

Yes, very many projects are the mice. But still I do not understand why they give free coins. After all, they are moshayniki why dot the coins. Investles to deceive so it's stupid. I have no idea.

I think it's a good idea and I belive to prospects airdrop despite the risks in the crypto currency and the opportunity to lose everything,  believe that the crypto currency in the future will replace  cash
 ::) ::) ::) :)

The answer to your question is easy my friend, company are creating an Airdrop to promote their coin to the community, by giving free coins During their ICO, but there is also a big problem of Airdrop because of the success of ICO greedy people are taking advantage in these Airdrops and create too many fake Airdrops just to scam people and make a Quick money, in 2017 there are 90% of scam Airdrops just to promote a fake and scam project.

Airdrop may be an important part of crypto development. Many communities entering this field begin with a fad following the airdrop.
And more specifically, airdrop may help token distribution for more decentralization. And of course it will be useful on token transactions in the future.

This shows that the market is picking up, this is a very good phenomenon, but you don't have to waste time doing airdrop missions, it is a waste of time, you should take the time to learn investment.

on the off chance that I think this is a showcasing virtuoso stragegy that we utilize, in light of the fact that if Airdrop still stays truly outstanding and most proficient approaches to draw in more individuals to our undertaking later, at that point free promoting to their stage by retweeting or partaking in web-based social networking, to get a large number of supporters or to grow their social network.

Airdrop program is done by the ICO because it is a way of publicity to make their token or coin be known but I'm not a big fan doing this kind of stuff because most of the time they don't send the free token and I think its a waste of time, So better join in bounty program but you need to pick a right one.

Well the main point of doing airdrop is making their project to be known through out every community, because if lots of people possess their token the project will be very active and will get lots of support so it will be a successful project.

The main purpose of airdrop is most likely to gather communities, especially on social media. A solid community will of course greatly help crowdfunding, and will likely help fight fud. So as long as there are still many new projects doing ico, then airdrop will still exist.

A lot of people now getting involved in crypto escpecially in ICOs , this is one of the easiest way to find investments now, airdrops are good way to let people know about your project and also they are make token more valuable because of the number of holders

You are right, Airdrop is a place to promote coins to interested people and spread the word about their project and it has less cost to run the rewards program. But most Airdrops does not have good results, but it only creates disappointment from members who provide partial service. But if you want to participate. I think there is Airdrop which has good quality and produces a lot of profit.

It's mainly because there are a lot of cryptocurrency out there that are starting their own coins and they want to advertise and market it to the people.

Air drops are also a way of propaganda. A good airdrop will allow more people to know about coins, so there will be more investors. But now a lot of scams.

Yes, that`s true. But unfortunately, another reason why there are so many Airdrops because some of them are scams. When people do their job and get nothing that is sad.

There are also many airdrop programs because there are also many ICOs which having a bounties in order to help bounty hunters make money and give the public a wider view about their project.

Indeed many airdrops emerge because every day there are also many projects / ico that comes with bringing new coins, and airdrop one of the media to give free coins to be known more widely. And many airdrop participants.

Some are scams, some are legit projects wanting to get some exposure and movement in the space.

to attract people, by giving free coin is useful than bounty program.
airdrop is the best way to get some money here, easy to do than the other ways. maybe if you have one account, it dont give you much coin, but if you have many account just for airdrop, the payment is like bounty

As mentioned airdrop is an added way of promoting their service. Apart from the different campaigns the airdrop of the respective token leads to make people invest more. Among the entire list of airdrops very few will be successful getting a big reward for the participation while majority end up with mere dollars when calculated on the whole.

An airdrop may serve different purposes:

- Could be a way to distribute important tokens fairly, promote a project or make people hodl (and not sell) their old tokens for a period. Many big time projects like ARDOR and some waves tokens were distributed like this.

- Could be a cheap easy way to advertise a useless project. Send 100 tokens to 50K addresses, and hope some of those people will google search your project to see what's this new token they received, and some of those buy more! LoL

- Could be a way to attract people to buy more, by giving them a small amount of a good token for free.

And many other reasons. So, they are becoming popular.

Airdrop campaign is necessary because when the ico still needs additional marketing, they intend to have an airdrop. In return for the users advertising the ico they give small amount of coins or token to boost their sale.

Airdrop is one way of advertising there tokens to be sold in the ICO, but mostly of it does not success and so they have to abandon it and make a new project name or the token name.

The reason that majority is not getting success is due to the fact that they are just created to pocket the money from the investors and become rich by them self. They do not think for the long term or want to make it the big project for their rest of the life.

The more useless tokens are created, the more AirDrop companies appear, which are created in order to attract at least some attention. There is nothing useful and free of charge.

Yet many projects are used to promote . Good advertising of your product .

Airdrop might be one of the way to advertise the tokens in public. But it will not guarantee that it will success, and so the tokens or project that they have will be abandoned and then they will make a new name to the projects.

A lots of airdrop programs that are introduces in crypto because right now, tokens is easily to produce, and well they will make this token to scam the other users.

Airdrops comes with the introduction of new projects... So many projects out there are looking to gain more popularity and increase their participants base.. Thats is the main reason these projects organises airdrop and by that means advertise their product through every participants.

How many projects, so many airdrops. Holders of coins are always profitable for investors, even as an advertising action. Now, look at our community, they present the project to potential investors. So, all this will work long.

For now i just follow airdrop program from bitcointalk..for any airdrop twitter never join again..many airdrop bot now just be scammer group on telegram..just be share about refferal link..we must smart to choose where airdrop scam or legit..but all like a gambling program..if we get lucky we will get some token or coin that have high price from it..just simole task at airdrop program..i like to join it budd

Since, as I understood, they are used to attract more and more people to your community and make them form a part of it by rewarding them for joining your community. This is quite strange since the ones who start the airdrop campaign, basically, are giving free money to people just for pressing two buttons  :D

Airdrops are a piece of their showcasing technique and I figure this can assist the organization with being qualified in posting with the trades as this is one of the necessities to have a particular volume of part. Abundance seekers cherishes to partake in aridrops in light of the fact that its a free cash obviously despite everything you must be watchful on the grounds that a large portion of the airdrops are trick.

Alot of them are scams using the platform to scam airdroppers. After some months they advertise their airdrops and when the number they needed to join their Telegram is complete, they change the name and use it for personal like using it to do Telegram bounties and so on...

If I think Airdrop is a coin / token which is given free of charge.
We just simply register on the form and just wait for the results of the airdrop division, but sometimes we will not get the coin / tokens.
His name is also fortune not there is definitely gan, just we try to find the best of the Airdrop.

The first reason is an increase in the number of bounties. Airdrops attract attention to the bounty companies that organize them, and the number of bounty hunters increases. The second - the desire of the project to quickly and without problems remind yourself (giving away money). The exchanges, for example, giving out their koins, increase the money turnover. Well, the third reason is SCAM)  ::)

Because everyone wants to make money on it. Scammers don't sleep. :) 90% of airdrops is a garbage. Be careful! Don't participate in everything!!

Because Airdrops are mainly used for advertising.When the fresh project appears how they can easily boost their marketing and influence?They seldom got budget for influencers and expensive means of promotion, so airdrop is the way to share their token for the promotion.Despite the fact that many people complain that airdrops just attract bounty hunters and bots, they still work pretty good.

Airdrops are an effective and cheap way to promote a project. That's why we see a lot of them. They came from devs making new coins to make money :)

A few coins have been very succesful attracting users with airdrops and other projects are adopting the same method.

Many airdrops were popping out today because this way, they can invite more people to their community that will strengthen their social medias followers. With lots of followers, investors will also be lured in to it. But as of now, lots of airdrops were just scam. So be careful of joining one.

Lol, airdrops are just like every other projects. Individuals, developers and the likes, from any part of the world can decide to come up with their projects as airdrop on smart contract. So many airdrops i believe are scam, except for some very few ones.

You know it's like something new comes everyone will copy  :P

I have long since stopped giving airways because of the fact that only 10-20% of the paid airways are paid, the rest only need your data for various, mostly not always legitimate goals. Never participate in airdrops with KYC identification!

Because airdrops are a very good manner or keeping promotionating your project, people join, and they retweet it on their social media, that is how most of the airdrops works. They pay you in tokens for some promotion

There are so many airdrops today because most of the people just wants to earn coins without working and it was also the reason why there are a lot of scam airdrops as well since everyone is interested on free coins.

thus the framework creates a kind of society which support the activity until will not give out tokens

People use airdrops to promote their projects. It is one of the cheapest marketing strategy out here but the unfortunate thing is that it is been abused by lots of unserious projects with no solid plans. Most unserious people just do it for fun hence the reasons for lots of worthless tokens from airdrop nowadays.

A lot of airdrops come from scam projects, some of the airdrops just try to catch you attention to the coin. When you receive some coins on your wallet you think what the hell is this coin is and you go to their website and try to search for the info, so it is a good advertising company. Also some airdrops are used to pay some small ammounts to investors or bounty members.

I believe it is majorly for promotion of projects and creating awareness. It is a good stuff if the project is actually nice despite majority of the airdrops ending up useless.

Airdrops is a small rewards for every participant which is the best way to attract users for their project. Every project has their airdrop, and we all know their are thousands of project, and daily still launching. People like small rewards for small work that's why their are so many airdrop programs.

There are currently many airdrop campaigns on the cryptocurrency market, and most of them are non-potential campaigns. So my advice is that you should not be involved in airdrop unless that is the potential ICO campaign you are taking on the bounty. My friends participate in airdrop a lot, and most of them are not potential Token, even Token is not listed on exchange floors.

Every project wants to get stronger community or show investors how many people support them. But I don't think that airdrop is something that cryptocommunity need!

Because airdrop is one of good way to promote an yoken or an ico. Its been also use by many scammer thats why i didnt trust airdrop today.i rather go to bounty than airdrop

Actually, By Airdropping people, The Airdrop project promotes their project to the world. Airdrop is a very good way to make a bigger community. But, Most of the Airdrop has been coming to get some money from the investor or just to scam people. Don't go for every airdrop, Be aware of joining in airdrop, because by airdropping, many hackers can hack your wallet.

I'm afraid to say that but many of airdrops is just an attempt to steal the personal data, and also some of them are the attempt to steal the private keys passwords, emails, and another person of things that they can use in process of hacking.

Yeah you are absolutely right. many airdrops program there. I think the ICO projects like to spread the community or promotion with the airdrop programs. Moreover the fee for the airdrop programs are cheaper than the other programs such as Bounty. However, we must be careful in choosing the right airdrops.

The airdrops hurt valuation of tokens if done during pre-ICO. Too many tokens released  before valuation will hurt investor chance to get ROI when tokes are listed on exchanges. This is due to too much dumping by bounty seekers.

their are a lot of airdrop programs now to advertise their token , many scammers also are giving airdrop programs and pursue people to invest in their project.

Many people are finding new ways to build something nice on the blockchain.
The rest are just people who happen to know how to build a smart contract on Ethereum.
Anyways, airdrops help for coin circulation and community building, hence, the abundance of airdrops

It's easier to do an airdrop and airdrop is a good way to advertise your ICO. Airdrops has no legal obligations either so it's good either way.

"Visibility"

Crypto Startups get to have visibility and builds a sort of a base of people that help spread the word about their service or product.

Its been showing incredible results as a method so far.

Airdrop is a good strategy to get free advertising of ICO, gaining a large user base for all social media accounts and telegram etc. in a very short time.

Some ICO owners see Airdrop to be the most affordable way of introducing their coin in the market. By simply creating referrals, ICO owners can give get website traffic, and can get the contact information of the bounty hunters. For a small fraction of their coin, they got your info.

They can spam you or sell your information for a huge amount of money.

Yes that is right, and I think that it is the easiest way of promoting a project. Sometime companies cannot afford to pay for advertising their project in bitcoin therefore they offer own coin for their advertisement, in this way they prevent themselves from a big investment for introducing their project in the market.

The cheapest and fastest way to "spread a word" about your token is the Airdrop.
For crypto Airdrops are much more efficient than any advertisement in social networks.

The more ico, the more airdrop will be, even though many ico are failing and it is a nightmare for airdrop. I think airdrop makes people search for many new projects, and of course the goal is participation in ico. Some projects are completely devoid of tangible products, and rely solely on marketing. And airdrop is one way to attract attention.

Airdrop programs are being made from those team who are marketing their tokens and also promoting their projects. As we all know that some of the bounty hunters are also investors. So as they will be able to get a lot of participation from the community or the bounty hunters the  more percentage of their project to be successful.

for ICO airdrop is an excellent free advertising you are right. For bounty hunters, it is an opportunity to get coins in a couple of minutes, but very few coins. I prefer bounty.

In order to understand such processes, you need to understand why airdrops are generally conducted and what they are generally needed for. As far as I understand today, the SEC does not care about the process of airdrops, and so the developers bypass the laws.

I think at this time very much airdrop program because it seems a lot of cryptocurrency or token erc20 new created so as to make for the marketing strategy so as to hold airdrop program.

There is a positive signal is to that more and more field in life apply blockchain in their system, so there are many ICO project-->have lots of Airdrop and Bounty programs. Beside, there are also many scam projects which are created to take money off investors

I think the biggest popularity due to the fact that airdrop overwhelmingly resembles a financial pyramid. And it never ceases to please people.

they appear, because they doing some strategy to get an investor for their project. airdrop for me is the easiest way or effective way when it comes in marketing.

Many people and everyone want to be rich, that's why so many new projects are appearing. They spend airdrops in order to attract as many fans as possible.

To attract more people to communities of the projects which launch this type of programs. You will get free money for just joining their communities. It's a very good and cheapest way for projects to attract more potential customers and investors which will help in the development of the project

Airdrops are meant for publicity a strategy to get people invest and join their community thats why there are repost and retweets to do after which you  get paid for the job done.Airdrops are for marketing.

With the continuous emergence of ICO programs and projects, the airdrop plan has grown further. All hope to make people realize different coins through marketing plan.

This is a question that almost everyone is asking, but I do not think that the answers are far from us. The thing is there are too many new ICOs, and are a lot of them are concerned about promoting their projects, hence the airdrops and bounty campaigns, as this is one of the commonest and easiest ways to get publicity.

Airdrop is such a marketing strategy, which help ICO from full of anonymity to gaining all the resources, customers and it’s one of the necessary factor that can take ICO to an successful launch . Generally, it’s used for advertising ICO project. Yep, in fact there are so many airdrops born every single day,and I think it’s such a pretty good way for us to gain benefit. A airdrop is carried out mostly as a reward for loyal customers. Besides, it helps us be aware about a new cryptocurrency. In short, airdrop is kind of useful.

because there are a lot of new ico, the airdrop is also increasing. because airdrop works to promote ico, so why does it airdrop a lot because a lot of new ico. yes the answer is simple.

Because airdrops are means of advertising, promoting or putting a certain crypto/ico in public to attract people to have the tokens freely and in that way could also attract investors as well. But airdrops are also been used as tools to scam others because not all airdrops today are legit.

This. But you should still continue to be wary/vigilant of scam airdrops. There are still a handful of it out there.

in my opinion, more and more airdrops because of the lower costs than the bounty campaign. but now there are many tokens of airdrop that cannot be sold on the market and only become a display in the wallet, so we have to be selective if we want to join airdrop so we really get legit tokens.

Its not a comparison between bounty and airdrops because this airdrops was much cheaper and easy to get you have to sign up or refer, fill up the form and wait for the token to arrive and listed on any exchange for you to sell. There are some legit airdrops but it was very few only and if you got one you could have a good amount of free money there.

I have my own airdrops app, i found daily 50-60 airdrops in which only 10-15 airdrops are real while rest are scam. It's difficult to identify which airdrop is real or which is scam? Airdrops provide little rewards, but it just take short period of time to complete (5 mins). After getting rewards, sometimes the price of token hit. So thats why there are so many airdrops!

Hello there pal! Well airdrops is one way of making a project known to the crypto community. I myself knew all about cryptocurrency by introducing airdrops to me by a good friend. And although nowadays only 3 out of 10 aidrops are legit, it can also be a good start of knowing crypto world. Just fill a lot of forms. Cheers!

Airdrop programs are created by projects with the aim of promoting their projects. use social media like Twitter or telegram as a means of their promotion. those who join the project will also get paid, but the fees received are usually very small or even worthless.

There are so many airdrop programs because there are so many ICOs that need to be promoted. We see that there is a daily birth of projects and these projects need promotion and popularity, and one of the cheapest ways to get that is through airdrops and bounty campaigns.

At present, many ICO projects are open, they want to develop an active community and attract investors, so the airdrop campaign is open continuously. However, the airdrop correlates with the project, if they sell the ICO successfully, the airdrop will be valuable, and if the ICO fails, the airdrop will not be distributed.

Mostly people mining for your data with a few legit projects sprinkled in.  Just stay away from KYC and use all new emails and fake names for registering.  Never use real information.  The scam percentages are incredibly high and there is no way you can avoid them all.

Airdrop Programs happens just to have an announcement to the ICO to promote and gather participants to join in there community. Just a warning though that some airdrop program is misleading and can be phising site wherein they will get your data just to hack your account.

Well, how many ico and so many airdrops now , but I think that more than 90% is a Scam , a lot and I do not advise them

Because of their many new project that need more investor will use airdrop to draw attention of new investor in other to get them involve in crypto. They are many airdrop because of the new project

Yes there are a lot of airdrop now and you cant differentiate between the good and the bad ones why because scammers are now finding it easy to creat there own ico.

The reason is because there are so many icos and with icos come airdrops and bounties which is why you see so many of them. New projects are always trying to get the word out about their coin and airdrops is one of the most effective ways for them to do that which is why almost all of them offer the opportunity to participate in airdrops.

Airdrops create teams of new projects (ICOs) to attract the attention of new investors. If the airdrop is generous, then it attracts more attention

In most of the situations regarding airdrops and the teams/projects processing them, there is not enough demand for the project or the public is not informed about it, so those projects tend to build their community and awareness about the project via giving out free coins.

The question should be "why so many ICOs" actually. :)

Airdrops are just a smart way doing a promotion campaign for their new projects and there are too many similar ICOs starting up every single day.

Honestly there are so many airdrops programs.
Including few geniue airdrops and most fake
Or scam airdrops.
I don't know maybe most of the project even meet
The requirements before launching their airdrops.

Airdrop is probably the best way to draw attention to the project at the initial stage. However, today a lot of scams. I stopped participating in airdrops because of that. After all, in order to earn you need to participate in each of the airdrops. Of which 10% will not be scammers.

You don't need to care about where these airdrops come from, but they are so inexplicable. So many airdrop scams are caused by these strange projects.If we are interested, you can choose to participate. If you don't have that much time, you can take a look, but it is undeniable that there are occasional high quality airdrops. If you can get it, you can use it to subsidize a little daily expenses.

I've already stopped paying attention to airdrop. A lot of them are just scam. It is no longer possible to earn a lot of money by participating in airdrops. I prefer bounty campaigns, it is much more profitable and interesting.

The airdop is the first step of the company to gain publicity by sharing in social mexia and other known platforms to promote their website and to have an early info to this company. But participating on airdrop is ok but you can earn much enough coin on that is why its better if you join on bounty campaigns it is much profitable than airdrops.

the number of projects that have sprung up at this time, to invite investors to join them, but that is mostly just fraud or scam

airdrop is one way to promote the project, by distributing airdrop, so many people will know about the project, so that is only as an introduction to the project

Do Airdrops out several times more than ico. And only 10 percent of them actually pay tokens. And of those 10 percent, not all tokens will be released on the stock exchange.

nor do I know, but isn't this profitable for the bounty hunter?
honestly I never wanted to miss it.  ;D

Airdrop make people be aware of the project but because of the character of it occasionally only a one time venture, those who joined it are simplest involved of the coins and will now not be interested in the undertaking to understand if it is going to be worth it to make investments on it. It is one of the marketing policy.

Airdrops are made to get the block-chain started. Why would anyone want tot promote a project among the users who don;t invest, but only wait for something free?

For sure numerous airdrops develop in light of the fact that consistently there are additionally numerous tasks/ico that accompanies bringing new coins, and airdrop one of the media to give free coins to be known all the more broadly. Also, numerous airdrop members.

There's a lot of airdrop now and I think why everyday they have new airdrop it's because they want to free advertise their project even their token that give has no value and that is not good to those who are participating airdrop.

I agree with you, airdrop is part of a token promotion, with more and more new projects indeed making more airdrops too,
but we have to be careful because there are now many airdrops that are scam, not all airdrops for promotions but can also
be a means of fraud

that is called as first things to make big of cummunity like distribution the tokens / alt to whole of the world. that is came from who had project like play with cryptocurrency, and sometime those project are scam, so be carefull.

If you think of where they came from you can go crazy. Seeing a lot of airdrop will certainly spend time searching for their origins one by one. Enjoy and don't make the opportunity for the best airdrop. Don't carelessly follow airdrop. Because between the many airdrops there is a scam airdrop.

Many airdrop means many new ICOs. It is a good way to bring attention to your project through giving away some free coins.
It is good that so many new projects starts, but quantity does not always bring quality as well.

Airdrops are just ways of creating a buzz around a project build there online community or reach...they are also free ways of amassing tokens tho

A lot of people have a lot of new ideas. Imagin every IT guy had 10 ideas for a cryptocurrency that will probably be a bigger hit than bitcoins. There will always be young professionals aiming to make the next bitcoins or even revolutionize the whole cryptocurrency scene in one go.

Who would not like advertising his own product by doing airdrop it can be publicize and known by others and also it is give small portion on the tokens they have so the traders will have a taste for their product and hope to buy more from them

Airdrops help in increasing the numbers on social channels for investors to see the project as a good investment. Who would not invest in a big community?

bounty and airdrop are becoming an advertising trend for ICO projects keeping both the community and the most cost-effective and efficient way to attract large investors through social media.

The algorithm for ICOs is now popular with the general public. A group of a team who find themselves potential to start an ICO can easily start provided the capital to go ahead is ready. This has brought about a lot of ICO, hence bringing about a lot of Airdrops. Airdrops are really necessary because it is the best way to bring attention to a specific project within a very shortest possible time.

I think there are so many airdrops this days because everyone believe they can easily create a token there are lot of new project out there with no value

The market is becoming bigger and their a lot of interest from every part of the world economy many people want to make use of crypto to solve a real life problem

if bitcoin and altcoin die. even though I never believed that. I might try and find work in the real world again, bro.

A lot is really going on when it comes to airdrops there are many fake links going around which they want to use to get authorization into people wallet and also there are lot of new good projects coming out ...

Well, there are so many projects going on in the space so most ICO chooses to do airdrops to that they will attract members in their social media page and telegram so that people will know about their ICO which could help them to sell out quickly.

Airdrops are means of promoting a project and ICO. So for every new project that hits the space, whether they launch on Ethereum or NEO platforms, there'll always be airdrops. Sometimes these they give airdrops to ETH or NEO hodlers only. An example of that is Ontology (ONT) which was given to NEO hodlers only.

Because a number of projects whats to get their products out there for everyone to have access to, and for them to be known, and the only way to achieve this is through airdrops, which acts as an advertisement to the projects,  the more people participating in ADs the more the project gets known

Yes, now there are a lot of different bounties and airdrops. Perhaps this is because now it is easier to create ICO and use these tools for promotion and the cryptocommunity is growing every day.)

on the off chance that I think this is a promoting virtuoso stragegy that we utilize, on the grounds that if Airdrop still stays truly outstanding and most effective approaches to pull in more individuals to our task later, at that point free publicizing to their stage by retweeting or partaking in online life, to get a large number of supporters or to grow their social network.

This is the perfect answer I guess. It's the fastest way to spread about the project to build a strong community at the same time it does not cost them much as they usually pay the airdrop participants a portion of the total supply. Same with bounty hunting, to help advertise about the project.

The airdrop programs are quite easy to plan and execute, it usually ends quickly in a few weeks. Especially if the project uses it to increase the number of members of the telegram community, twitter.

Airdrops are normally intended to create awareness of the existence and value of a particular coin. It also announces new coins coming on the market. As such, there will be airdrop programs until the Blockchain ceases to exist or the creation of new coins stops.

Now you can found out there are a lot of airdrop why  because they want to create peoples awareness of there existence and also the value of a particular coin. And many of them are scam.

since the more that market them with the goal that Crypto made numerous airdrops flying up. be that as it may, not all things are promising a direct result of its numerous airdrops just some are for sure demonstrated to pay. whatever is left of it's all only a trick and not solid by any stretch of the imagination.

airdrops are usually programs intended to help promote an ICO project. So, we can conclude, that the more the program ICO, project airdrops will also be more and more. This is the cause, why are more and more airdrops at this time.

Because many are scam. Airdrops coming up every second but only few of them are real. The ratio of real airdrops to scam ones is about 30:70 which means the 30% of the real ones come out once in a while.

It provides quality community feedback as well as advertising for brands, helps to promote a particular coin, to drive traffic to a site. In this way, companies are able to create a community around their coin. This is a means of creating a customer database at a low price. But today a lot of airdrops may be a scam, unfortunately.

Because the Airdrop increases the marketing of the ICO.
with a lot of participation, investors will believe that the project will be successful in the future.

that's the average trick from ICO marecting.

because airdrop is very effective and relatively cheap marketing instrument. easy to spread the word about a project in crypto community

Well, now there are many ico projects, because of this, there are many airdrops, but they are not very profitable to do now

There are so many airdrops programs now
But most of this airdrops are either fake or scam project even the few geniue ones pay less, in short some of them pay less than 2$.so no matter how many airdrops they are, I can't be enticed.

airdrop is simply an advertising tool like many others, make your product known with a free sample, above all it attracts traders who are always looking for this kind of opportunities, even if the token is not worth much, if they give the sufficient amount it will start attracting people who will try to trade it for something else, some airdrops are very ingenious and request that you hodl so that you receive more rewards, so they raise the price a lot and you can sell it at the end.

It is a helpful marketing tool for the projects. Airdrops programs are used for promotion and advertising. But most of them just only want to collect your data and are only a waste of time.

Because it's a new way of making money. Many of the airdrops are scammers and they are waiting for the newbies to get the benefit.

Simple, because there are many developers trying to create their own project and they are trying to get people to use their coin and that is why they are giving coins away to anyone that is interested in the project, unfortunately there are also many developers trying to make money for themselves and are trying to see if they can make some of those coins to have some value so they can sell later for a profit since they hold most of the coins.

Many projects use airdrops to gain more followers and subcribers in Telegram, Twitter etc. Anyway many of them are just scam.

Airdrops are an integral part of the of the promotion of an ICO. In order to create more hype and build a community around a project, it's important for the team to give of it's tokens out for free, I mean who doesn't like freebies?

However, a lot of these airdrops are scams as they come, you end up wasting time with them, accumulate tokens that are not of any value because the team have no plans of actually pursuing the course of the project.

It is a form of attracting people into a project by performing minor tasks and hence winning some free tokens. I think if it as a form of cheap advertisement.
