Bitcoin Forum

There is absolutely no Source of income that is free but some of my Bitcoin investors friends who are as much gamblers would not want to agree to that.
Currently, there had been several airdrops projects ongoing which participants are earning crypto coins without investing of money but executing some tasks.

So some of my friends says such funds are free money so they are delighted dedicating it to be spent on gambling and when they lost it all, it would be easier to let go because they did not stress to get the money.
Meanwhile... This usually comes a huge amount of money beyond their normal gambling budgets.

To me, they can utilize these so called free money by adding it up to their Bitcoin portfolio or even used it to spend on necessary things instead of dedicating to lavish it on gambling.

There is no free money any where, those who say it free money when you earn the money through airdrop or gambling its not free money because you must have to pay for them indirectly,  take for example in airdrop,  even though you don't invest in those projects with your money, you will still invest your time, that is before you get those airdrop rewards that  is refered free money by many, you have to invest your time into doing the work before getting the rewards and no airdrop will ever reward anyone who didn't put in any efforts in doing the job.

Lastly no money is overly dedicated to be wasted regardless of how you earn them, gambling is for fun and no one should use money that is ment to solve important issues or that should be invested to gamble, because money is as good as the person who handles it if you have the right frame of mind one should be able to positively utilise any money regardless of the source of the money.

but even if the money comes from an airdrop, isn't it money that comes from rewards given for the tasks they have done? so i don't think that it is 'free money' as they say. it's just that their treatment of the money is too trivial, perhaps because they think that the money is very easy to get so they gamble it without consideration.

even though it is their right to use the money to gamble, it is money, and they should use it wisely so that it won't all be spent on gambling alone.

isn't that an act of foolishness? How do you call airdrop money free money and you think it's worth squandering it away because you've not exerted any physical energy to getting it? I guess those people that makes this kind of statement don't know what's called mental stress and the value of Time that's put into a particular task. So you mean that for all the time, data and energy you put into mining you don't still consider it an effort but it's just free money because you don't even know the value of what you're doing for right?

Those kind of mindset is an error of the highest order and that the person decides to you the money for gambling isn't a justification to supported his act of carelessness at all. As much as it's a win for gambling owners when thee is a loss on the side of the gamber, it's never an indication that they have encourage irresponsible gambling. regardless of the source of the money you used in gambling, it's best to plan your gambling in a manner that limits your loss potential and ensure that you're gambling with a budget you've preset and not a supplus that can help solve a real life problem.


while this options you've outlined here is a good thing to possibly put your money into, understand that everyone has his one choice and preference and if they decide to gamble with a section of the Gaines they made from thier airdrops, you've got no reason to judge them that much since you don't know the reason for thier decision. It's possible that they have other sources of income that is going into Bitcoin investments and is still enough to Carter for there other expenses and so it's only wise for them to gamble with what's now a spair money for them. Come to think of it, have you thought of what you will say if they finally gamble with the money and win at the end of the day? Would you still judge them for making such decision?

It is free money. I am not going to judge them. They can spend it how they want. They worked for it. And because it is free money, they are reckless with it. I think that gambling addiction plus free money is a deadly combo. Soon they will realize when the free money stops coming in that they could done other things with the free money than squander it all on gambling. And this is where the regrets kicks in.  

I wouldn't expect anything else. Money given on a platter of gold will not be factored in any budget especially for this group of people who already love to gamble.

If you can, get the same free money and then show them by example how you are utilizing the money. That would make them realize that they have other options.

Have you also considered that these guys can also win big money from the gambling that they are using their airdrop money to invest on? Come on gambling can't be associated to losing all the time. I believe those your friends are adults and they know what is good and bad, if so I believe that they will be fine, sometimes the problem we have in life is that we expect people to behave or think like us, and when we don't see that happening we become judgmental.  We should just allow people make their own choices and live with the resulting consequences, be it good or bad. I have seen someone win big amount of money in gambling on football, when the game bet was won, almost everybody around blamed the guy for not sharing the game with them at the initial stage, but this was someone that almost every body was despising because he always gamble. For me since they are adults let them have it their own way.

What if they are able to win a big amount of money from gambling with this money earned from airdrops? will you still have the same opinion that they wasted the money? I do not think so.

Sometimes we really possess no rights to tell people how to spend money they have earned, you can only give advice, but if not taken by them, do not criticize their choices because you do not know the position they are in before taking such decisions. Surprisingly this your so called friend may already have a very huge portfolio that he has a means of dedicatedly increasing it by DCA, and you have no idea about it but because you saw him gambling with what he earned and then you concluded that his spending money unwisely.

I don't understand the point of this forum thread.
Are you complaining about airdrops or you are complaining about your gambler friends spending airdropped coins on gambling?
Bitcoin back in 2009-2010 would also probably been viewed as some sort of "free money". You never know which airdrop project would become successful and which one would end up being scam/worthless. Most of those crypto projects end up in the trash.
When you get something for free, you just don't cherish it and you are more willing to waste it away. This is pretty normal mentality.

 

Well, it's their own money; we can't blame them for what they want to do with it because that's their hard-earned funds, but yeah, I do agree with you. I also do airdrop projects, and it is not easy to do tasks with several airdrops, and you will do many airdrop projects because there's no guarantee that an airdrop will be profitable, so it will be a hassle and hard in order to facilitate all projects you are in, and it's a waste to use those hard earned profits just to lose it all in gambling. Even if you say that you didn't invest any money and just did tasks on those projects, I will feel sadness and regret for not using those funds to invest instead. Even now that I'm earning from the airdrops that I'm doing, I'm not using my profit for my gambling habit; instead, I'm investing those in other projects or in other ways of investing.

I believe that there is no difference in where the money was earned from. And it is very clear to say that "if the money was earned easily, then it can be lost in the casino without a doubt." This is a very big relaxation for your self-control.
Just then, with such judgments, you can start and lose your deposit from the bitcoin portfolio. And this will be dictated by the fact that the player wants to win back. All these facets are very thin and it is easy for a gambler to cross them.

But it's hard to come back later.

I guess that's because the airdrop tasks required aren't hard enough for them to see it as a worthy way of earning money.

I know such people exists, not until they get tired from doing a harder job they won't see the likes of airdrops as tasking, to them it is still free money.

Still, this doesn't mean they should risk everything on gambling at once without a responsible strategy, mind you, airdrops don't pay all the time, from my own side of view it is still not that easy to make money from airdrops.

Or am I missing something? Do airdrops pay all the time? The last time I went all in on airdrops only 2 out of 20 pays as promised, they mostly don't care, you do all those tasks and you get nothing in the end.

Now think about wasting all the money from a airdrop that paid after so many airdrops failed to pay? It makes no sense.

I don't believe that anything is free, if you are getting something for free you should check yourself and your environment, you could probably be in danger to yourself or a threat to others.

If you received coins from airdrop, the amount may not be more than $5 to $10. That is one of the reasons some gamblers may think of gambling with it. If it is a huge amount of money, they may think of using it for other things. It is true that airdrop coins or money are not free, but that depends on the rules of the airdrop. If there are requirements that people should perform some task before they can have access to it or before they can be given the reward, that means it is not free. But gamblers also gamble with some money from part of their wages or salary. That should not be a problem if the person is not a compulsive gambler.

The thing about airdroppers is that they don't see the investment part of what they are doing. They thing because they are not investing money in it means no investment since they are only doing task as requested by developers but that is investment also because you involve your idea and also, time that they use in it is investment. Therefore, they should see it as investment and whatever proceed they get in the airdrop should be seen as their profit or even salary for their labour and should be managed and used judiciously. So if they want to use it in gambling, it shouldn't be frivolous but more pragmatic in their bankroll. Even when you get a gifted money and you want to gamble with it, you should maximize it for more gains.


Of course, even if not to buy Bitcoin, they can cash out some and use the money for personal use while investing some in other coins. There are people who cashed out big from Notcoin recently, they only splitted part of the profit and left the rest in Notcoin, that is a good investment. And then if you want to gamble with some of the profit you can do that but not to be careless about it because of the feeling that it was just airdrop money rather than seeing it as profit from labour and investment.

If we look at today's airdrops at first glance, it seems like they're really free, but if we look closely, it's not really, because when you do a task, you are spending electricity every time you do the task, and that is not free. .  We pay for it instead monthly, right?

It's not only obvious that the airdrops are not free. Now, if we ever pay in airdrops, the rewards we get are up to us, whether we use them to buy bitcoin for us to have long-term holdings in the future. It's that simple, right?

Well, that's just how much someone could take advantage of what they can get in the internet. Imagine being able to get money and not needing anything to put in the market but just tasks that are quite manageable. It's important to see that it's going to be worth it in the long run.

Well, I don't know why you connect Lunatic Gamblers towards Airdrop receivers but it's just really crazy to have and get "free money" with having put nothing (in terms of money). Don't gamble too much? Maybe.

If say free money, there are actually lot of airdrop projects that can easily complete all the tasks and each participant will be rewarded with number of tokens which in the future can be sold and get some money.
But I think there are quite lot of airdrop projects that require money to complete each task to be able to collect certain number of points, so not all airdrop projects are free money.

It just that if it is related to gambling and using the money from airdrop rewards to gamble it can be easier to accept, that is something I will agree with, they don't need to work and expend energy to be able to complete the airdrop and this is easy to get.
However, it will still depend on each person mindset because there are some people who think that they complete the airdrop and get paid so that it can be used as source of side income, obviously people with this mindset will still not accept money must be lost to gamble.
It different if the mindset of someone who pursues or completes an airdrop but with the aim of getting reward and only using it for fun, then they will definitely be able to accept it when all their money has to run out with nothing left.

Why said something about free if you need to spend some time and effort to do some task that they ask to get rewarded? There's no free on that unless they just give those money without asking anything to their community. But I don't know what people think about that since they should not use all of their money for their gambling activities since all of their effort made for many months of participating on those airdrop task activities will became worthless.

Although some just tell that its fine because its free money anyway but for sure they are been bothered for the money which supposed to be on their hand already but they lose it in just single day taking those bad decision on their gambling activities.

It will be more ideal for people to take care on their earnings and never spend all of it on things that riskier than they though since for sure they would provably regret their decision on why they let their selves to engage more and became aggressive on each action they do especially if they lose a lot of money from it.

Everyone can receive an airdrop depends on the task that they've done, sometimes it's an easy task that's why other people considered it as "free" when in fact, it's like a reward for us because we are able to finish the corresponding task given by some campaigns. Some airdrops doesn't have a value or it takes time for us to use that reward but if luck knock on us, possible that we will be having a big bucks, so I agree with you, we shouldn't use all of the money in gambling only, we need to diversify our funds and know how to handle our finances well so that we won't get any problem or regrets in the future.

Airdrop are free in terms of effort, but it's not free in terms of time. Most people forget if anything that they do must requiring time, while time is money, which mean airdrop aren't completely free at all even though you feel you didn't give any effort to complete the task.

Your friends will not going anywhere if they always spend their time for cheap thing and gambled it away, better to learn something and put more effort in order to earn more.

Each person would really be having that different mindset and impressions towards things on which if they've been seeing about airdrop money is a free money then just let them be on how they would really be gonna be spending it but its true that it would be just that a waste that you would really be that making use of those free funds into gambling specially if its really that significant. Even if its free but we do know that social media
interactions and other others specially making those liquidity or spending up some gas fees on making transactions within chains is something that do talks about having that kind of expense, on which means that it would really be that normal that you should really be getting some parts of those free money to equal on what you had expense with those gas fees or even with the effort that you had made.

It might sound that free money but you have that put up equal effort or tasks on which it would really be just that right that securing out some profits out of those free money would be worthy. If they would really be spending out all of those funds on gambling just because it was free then just let them be. They wont really be able to feel out if they do still continuing to make money with airdrops on which we know that it is really that already hard nowadays to find a legit project or something that really pays because most of them are really that long time before they pay their farmers and there are ones who doesnt really pay at all on which there would really be no assurance that you could make money with it, this is why it would really be worth if it would be used on investment instead of gambling.

why they will not agree when airdrop is indeed income generating as long as you know how to keep safe because there are cases that instead of earning you will be scammed or being fooled .

well , since that is their earning then let them decide where to spend because that is what they wanted to risk and try doubling their money.

well that is if you are at their shoes but the sad part is that its not, those are their airdrop income.

There are many of them that are scam while many of them will later lead to phishing scam. But if you know how to avoid the scam, they are easy to avoid. But it is important we should know where we are providing KYC.

This is just it. What some people see as free may not be seen as free to to some people. Some people may think the money is gotten easily and they can risk it to gamble. Some people will decide to spend it in other things.

its not a free money in the real sense because those money were gotten as a reward for a task they actually did on a sight but then because they felt the task they did were too small hence it can be equated to almost no work so they can actually get to consider it as no work and call it free money forgetting the task that was done before they were rewarded with such an amount, even if its been considered as free money i still don't think its enough reason to squander it and not spending it in the best way that will ever get to profit them them the most, its still possible they can still get to win their bets and be able to make profits off this money but its not an ideal and trusted way of getting the most off such funds.

Not properly utilizing the funds because you think its free isn't the best idea, adding it to their bitcoin portfolio isn't a bad idea either but some of these airdrops reward comes in the token for which they are promoting with the task you had to carry out to be rewarded so some times it could actually get difficult trying to get the coins converted to bitcoin and then invested but before thst its important to understanding the dynamics of bitcoin and how well to investing in it.

I participate on most of airdrop but it doesn’t consume much time like you did to work for it 8hrs a day. Typically, It just requires to do some minimal task on social media or running a node which your computer will do it for you without the need to monitor freely.

It’s really a free money since there’s only minimal effort for it which you can easily do on your free time to receive this coins. Also some airdrop just need to stake tokens which doesn’t require you to pay. Airdrop in general is just a free money because it’s a reward for supporting the project during their early days.

Back to the topic, regardless of the money acquire through airdrop. It’s already yours once you received it so losing it will be equivalent to the money from your savings once loss in gambling because they are already on your possession.

There's no such free if you did the task given as requirements for the airdrop participation, and for you to acquire the rewards 100% accomplishments should be done. Participants should value the amount of drop coins that eventually became profitable by the time it hits the market value. Some said it's free, but IMO efforts and time dedicated to that project is somehow very impressive. We shouldn't waste it just by gambling to the fullest, save the other half for your family's future.

In the name of money from Airdrops it is free, but I don't think so, because we need to spend effort, time and run a lot of tasks to get the Airdrop, many airdrops also require a lot of money to get it, so I don't think it's really free, except for Give away which is just pasting the wallet addres at an event and we get a prize for coming out as a winner, that's called free money.

But even so I also do it, like the prize from Not Coin yesterday and got a few hundred dollars then I bet it in the casino and fortunately got a lot of winnings that multiplied the Airdrops prize I got, I often do this.

What you're friend means is airdrops come from new coins after doing tasks like promoting the project or connecting their wallet and doing some testing; they will only become free money if the project gets into the market. Unless that happens, these are shit coins in your wallet.
Only newbies participate in these airdrops because they are blinded by false promises.

And if the coins we get from airdrops become real money or become tradeable, we should think of saving it as not all the effort we make on claiming airdrops will be rewarded. Still, some people risk it in the hope of doubling it in gambling because they have it in their minds that they did not spend real money to get these coins so why not take a risk on gambling.

There's nothing like free money on the internet, those airdrops they cashed out from are not free because those airdrops are time consuming things and time is money, it's also something that requires mobile data, if they don't have a data subscriptions they can't be able to claim those airdrops.
Gamble is not free, even those free spins and jackpot are not free, in most casinos, if a gambler wins any of those jackpots or free spins and free bet, the gambler must rollover before he can be able to withdraw.

That's what they thought; they see it as free money, but let's wait until they lose it all to gambling. Watch them closely and see if the pain of losing is not going to affect them. 
 
Even money that is given to someone for free is being carelessly spent. The person who possesses that money will immediately realise it was a mistake to have spent that money on something that could not add value to their life, so even as those funds were made from airdrop, they will still feel the pain if they lose it all to gambling.
 
Where it will hurt them more is if anyone who is close to them uses their money very wisely to invest in something that will yield a profit over time. Looking at such things will remind them of what they could have helped them achieve.

I will say the OP understand what he posted. He meant that if the money is high in amount, that people should not use the money to gamble. But I will say people have different opinions about what they want to use their money for. Also know that airdrop money is not free money if you were given some work to do before you can receive the airdrop. If you work for something, that thing is not free. Airdrops nowadays are not free like many years ago when people have just started to know about cryptocurrencies.

Money is money, whether you found it on the street, given by your teacher, given by random stranger or you won from lottery, if you use the money to gamble, it means you're losing your money.

And what do you think about "newbies" that always participate in airdrop after they know airdrop aren't worth it? I don't think they're "newbie" if they already participate in airdrop for more than a year. They're already have many experience.

Not everything is worthless, if you sell at the right time it might get a better price position, that's if you only get one account for airdrop allocation, for example only get $10 per account if we have 20 accounts participating it might be $200, that's pretty good in my opinion, even though it's a shill coin but some people get good benefits, and some airdrops also have a decent market value.

But I don't use the money from Airdrops for gambling, just like what I got from the previous Aevo airdrop, it was a pretty good price at launch and when I sold, it became some equipment for my desk, but the small value like $5-$20 I will play it for gambling and get fun with the free gift fee.

Well, technically airdrops are not free perse though it may look like it is free because cryptocurrency companies send their tokens to a designated wallet. However, in order to be eligible for airdrops, there are certain conditions that are required for a person to do in order to receive it.

One may argue that the amount of effort that they do is negligible; basically, it is something that is somehow "free" but there is always that mutual trade-off where you do the tasks and they reward you with these airdropped tokens.

Lastly, these tokens also are of somewhat low in value. Given that lots of cryptocurrencies are being created weekly, they do these airdrops as a marketing ploy in order to advertise their coins. You sell these coins but you also have to look for a buyer that is willing to purchase it.

In conclusion, airdrops are not free perse. You may receive some tokens but their value is significantly low and it may be quite a challenge for you to sell these coins in order to maximize its value for gambling.

They basically didn't work for it, so they might be right in a way and I guess that's why they decided to use it to satisfy their gambling activities like they haven't been able to before. It's true that there's been so many crypto airdrops that have aired out so much token to the public recently and you see so many people spending them how they want. It doesn't really matter if you want to gamble with yours, so long you know how to gamble and are able to back out when you start losing. Investing in Bitcoin is not the only thing you can use to generate profit though it's reliable and less risky that's why we advise others to invest in Bitcoin. But sometimes we have to let everyone choose what they want to do with their funds. They can choose to use it to gamble if they do wish.

I think the airdrop that we get and can make money from is not something free, indeed doing it doesn't cost any capital in the sense of money, but we need to remember that we sacrifice a lot of time to be able to make money from the airdrop. Using the money from the airdrop depends on each individual how they manage the money. I personally look at my needs first, if I think it's sufficient for my daily needs, I will switch to investing in Bitcoin rather than gambling. I value the money I earn much more than the fun I have at the gambling table to spend that money. If there is something that is more useful to us, why should we throw it away in vain?

Of course any of those coins or tokens including airdrop earned could be turned to an investment by exchanging them into bitcoin, why many don't bother their self much on these is because of the reward being received to be too small in other for them to be able to convert into bitcoin knowing well that there are considered amount is not worth the minimum exchange rate.

Back into those good old days or years where ICO airdrops do give out that significant amount even if do talks about airdrops on which this is something that would really be that big or involves thousands of dollars if the certain airdrop would really be pumping up to the moon. Why i can say? I have experienced such thing and earned with those days with airdrops on which i could say that those are the best years on involving with airdrops, which it is really that unlike now that it is really just that too small on which you cant blame out someone to spend it all in gambling rather than on investing it on bitcoin or making it some savings considering the amount wont really be that significant then they wont really be caring at all. It would really be just that depending on you though.

Since your friends believe that the money they earn from airdrops is free money to them, it is not a problem at all. But they need to consider that it is not a must that you must sweat and work hard before the money that you got is worthy of investment. They can also use this opportunity to invest in bitcoin and it will be good since they see the funds as free, they can invest it happily to make profits from it.

However, I cannot tell them what to do but I believe that with time, they will realize the mistake that they did to gamble with all their funds from airdrops. The only thing that I see can affect them is addiction. Since you said that they moeny they use in gambling is above their gamble budget, it is likely that they will gamble more often than before which might make them get addicted. If they get addicted to gambling, that is the worst because they used their own money to harm themselves because of lack of self control.

If they say like that, you should have to agree with them although you are not agree with them because they have their experienced with the airdrop rewards. If you follows what they did, maybe you can see that their saying is right because you knows how they gets that rewards. But they should use some money from that rewards to invest in bitcoin and keeps that bitcoin until the price increase so high so they can sell it to gets the profit.

We can just agree what they say because we don't knows the truth. I hear that the airdrop rewards can gives them big profit if they found the right project. But if not, they will not makes any profit but that doesn't mean they will stops what they do because many new projects that can be hidden projects that can gives them profit.

But what if they win huge with that "Free" bankroll?

Maybe adding $50 to their portfolio doesn't make any difference for them, but imagine the scenario where they bet those $50 and end up with a $1000 profit on the casino, then they add those $1000 on cryptos to their portfolio and hold them.

I feel like there is nothing bad about what your friends are doing with those airdrops, if they play it smart then they can make some huge profit in the long run.

That's the character of most people you see. Once they have given free money, they seem not to value it, other than spending it lavishly without purpose since they didn't stress to get it or spend their hard-earned money for it. Anyway, you won't blame them though cos it's free money given to them. How they spend their free money is their business, not ours since we all have how we handle money whether it's free money given or not.

Different folks with different approach to money. What do you expect, when given free money? Spending all on a particular activity like gambling will not be a big deal to them since anything can pump out like having quick money on the free money they have(poor mentality).

Many people have lavishly spent useful money given to them on a platter of gold just because they want to risk it on gambling since losing wouldn't hurt a fly on oneself.

It would have been fantastic if they had invested their free money in bitcoin instead of gambling that they would lose without having a dime to go home with at the end of the day

Airdrop is not really free money, you performed a task for the company before they airdropped you the coin that was given to you. The time and effort spent in performing the task is really valuable, so I won’t say Airdrop money is not free money, but the only thing I know is that when participating in Airdrop, you won’t have to invest any amount of money, maybe that’s why people call it free money.

Even if it’s free money, is it supposed to be spent anyway on gambling? Is it that they don’t have any other things to do with money? Even if I am given money for free, I won’t go beyond my limit when gambling because I have other important things to do with money.

They've worked on it so they can do whatever they want with these airdrop rewards just like why we work in our office where we can gamble and have fun.

Instead of taking a loan and playing, why not use the airdrops that they've got, we don't know if they already have a lot on their portfolio and just want to enjoy and take a risk to double their airdrop rewards; I don't see anything wrong on this.

You have to understand how each person enjoys their achievements, there will be differences. Your friends think airdrop is something free, and that's true. if there is an airdrop that asks to pay, I don't think it's an airdrop.
they make a profit from the airdrop they do. and the proceeds are used for gambling. of course, it was outside their gambling budget. Winning or losing is still a gamble, we won't know.
Even though I know you intend to use the profits from the airdrop better, let your friends enjoy the achievement. because maybe they are looking for excitement from gambling and they get it more from something free.

Well. I mean.  There are some airdrops which are completely fair and legitimate when comes to actually giving to their participants what it was promised from the beginning, though, most of the time airdrops are a wast of time, in the sake manner faucets are. Though, let us assume your friends indeed managed to get some good luck with airdrops and they obtained some money out of them and then decided to move onto gambling? Does it even matter?

People work and have careers for the sake of earning money to do whatever they want, including gambling and sport betting, those who chase and go after airdrops are faucets are also sacrificing their time for money, at a very lower pace than the average worker, that is. So there is not much of a difference wm between working and chasing airdrops for the same of wagering money.
As long as the activities we are talking about here are all legal and no scam is being pulled off in order for a few people to get rich out the trust and hopes of others, then to me it is completelt fine to use airdrop rewards to gamble.

To each their own.

You are too skeptical sir, even Justin Sun founder of the Tron network has also participated in many Airdrops lately which indicates that Airdrops are not something that we can play around with and many have proven themselves that they get very broad benefits from this community luck activity, there are many airdrops that help people's lives, I think you are too dismissive about this kind of thing, although I also know there are also many that become useless coins, but it can be sorted out and we need to see who is behind the project that holds the Airdrop to confirm the possibility that we will get one day.

I myself use airdrops as a way to find other income, but if the results are used for gambling, of course it's true, some of the money I get from airdrops as my capital to seek pleasure from gambling, it's very fun in my opinion, free money is then spent on fun at the casino, especially if you get a big win, this will make me much happier than I use my own hard-earned money to do gambling.

There are 2 things here. One is that the money they have received from Airdrop is not free ofcourse.
There is some criteria that they are meeting in order to get the airdrop at first place.
Since they are meeting that criteria, the value of those coins becomes the value of that criteria they have met.
Basically they are doing something to get that airdrop and so it's not free ofcourse.

The second thing is that they can literally do anything with their funds.
Not everything has to be invested because that would basically kill our joy.
If they want they can surely use it for gambling because that way they are having fun.

Everyone is entitled to there opinion, and can decide to do whatever with there money. We all know some tasks were met up before they got the rewards from the Airdrop but that doesn't mean they should invest it or not gamble with the money.

You need to focus on you. I can't suggest for them, if they choose to risk it and loss it there business, every action has corresponding reaction and consequences either good or bad.

Some people do not give a fuck about your financial advice for them; they will only realize it after they blow up their account and every dollar they had is gone. Then there's nothing to fall back on, and that's only when they may realize the importance of the advice you earlier gave them. 

Some people too can get lucky along the line and multiply the money. You cannot just know what the end result can be, but it's very necessary to gamble responsibly and not spend all your money on gambling. It would be more wise of them if they split the money and invested some in more assured investments and also put the amount they wanted into gambling. 

There are indeed criteria for you to be eligible on an airdrop on which you would really be needing to pass up some tasks on where it does really need up that kind of effort on which you would really be needing.
Its really that literally free fund or money but on the work or tasks that you have done then it would be considered to be non free at all since you do put up some work for you to be able to get such amount
but just like on what most people been saying that the amount involved isnt something that would be that to big or something that will really be that significant for someone not to make use in gambling.
It would really be just that depending on a certain individual since not all would really be that putting up that much important on airdropped money with those projects that been launching.

Just as been said that its not always that small on where there are times that you could get $500-1000 like on ARKham airdrop on where those farmers did really get that good amount but
this isnt always the case that do really happens but only rare and most of them are really just that giving peanuts. This is why some people would really be spending their airdrop
into gambling directly or whatever they do have in mind specially if its really just that small and there's nothing wrong with that i should say.

Since they make the income from airdrops through tasks, it's not free money at all, rather it's money paid for their work and effort towards such tasks demanded by airdrops' managers. In my opinion there isn't much difference between your friends and those people who work all day long, but instead of going home after the daily duty, they go to a casino to spend all their hard earned money made for that day of work.

These people are sacrificing their chances of thriving for an uncertain outcome in gambling. They are only thinking on short term goals, while totally neglecting the long term ones. Nothing in this life is really for free. The bartering system is going on all the time, even inside the closest relationships. So it's not a wise idea to waste anything in this life.

Of course entertainment is good and everyone needs to relax some time everyday. But to prioritize this necessity above other essential needs in life can be a mistake, especially when the individual is starting to build his personal independent life.

Time is the costliest investment I ever know of, money can come back or be acquired again, but time wasted can never be regained. those his friends are not getting any free money at all because they are investing their time, mental resources and even physical resources to make the money, so they are investing greatly without even noticing, perhaps they are not very busy and have lots of free time to spare and utilizing some on the airdrop projects seems like nothing to them.

well OP calls it a waste of money and I get his point because such money should've been invested wisely if the friend of his has some investment mindset to bank on, but the dudes just found a source of making extra money to suite their gambling needs and it has helped them stop using their personal funds for gambling, instead they now save more money while fueling their gambling desires from the airdrop dividends as a source, I would say they just ended up separating some concerns and conserving more money. The only problem I have is what becomes of them when the airdrops finally ends and they have normalized spending more on gambling, they might turn back to their personal funds and gamble with the new margin, which will be detrimental on their finances. So, at this point I think they also need some financial intelligence to think and secure their tomorrow with some kind of investment pattern and behavioral modification in gambling.

As much as I want to disagree with what your friends said that there's are airdrops where you can earn without investing any money on it, there really are still some projects that are, but they only give a few bucks or at least they will give you token that has literally little to no value at all.

Gone are the days where you just need to advertise them in order for you to get some free tokens. Nowadays, if you really want to get some airdrops on these new projects, you need to invest at least a small amount of money on it (joining in a liquidity pool to earn points that are convertible to tokens). I'm not saying that these types of airdrops where they are giving free tokens to users are completely gone, but they are very rare already, and for me, it's not worth it to try it. Anyway, if they got it for free then they can use it on whatever they wanted to. Is there any problem with that?

I agree with what you said that they can just add it to their total portfolio but at the end of the day, it's their decision and they can do whatever they want to that "Free money" that they got.

Ok so let's call it a free money, but not totally free at all cause they did accomplish some task to earn those airdropped tokens and that means they spent hours or hours completing those task. IMO, not totally free at all, it's just like working for someone and get paid for it, getting good value for those tokens were just a bonus.
For us, this should be the best thing to do, especially when you have long term perspective, but for those of your friends maybe they are thinking for a short term one time shot of getting rich. Can't blame them though because we all have our own perspective and plans for our investments as well as any financial decisions. In fact, those money are just an extra income, maybe If I'm single and I'm on their shoes, I'd probably have done the same lol.

Many people think that Airdrop is a free source of income, but in my opinion Airdrop currently cannot be said to be free because Airdrop has several stages to do the work that must be done and we also have to use fuel costs to get it. So here I think what your friend said is wrong and he wasted too much time with what he got from the Airdrop, and it was all done just to gamble.
In my opinion, things like this should not be done, because gambling will cause a continuous addiction to doing it, so that it will cause big problems for a person's life in the future. It's true that spending Airdrop results for our needs is much better or can also be saved, because at any time there will definitely be a very urgent need for something, rather than just gambling.

Im not a lunatic but I consider Airdrop rewards are free funds or free money there are basically a ton of airdrop that active today and some have simple task like liking and retweet and some of it require some money to stake do bridge and so on I believe this month https://web.telegram.org/k/#@AirdropfindX there are people win 40K of free money from Mode Network just by bridge and stake some token. But free airdroop like social media task is really free in my opinion I mean like how much power do we need to like and retweet someone tweet and earn from it right

Some airdrops are free while some are not depending on the project. I think why many will generalize it as free is because we spend very little or no amount of money to get it, how much fee will it take to bridge or rather claim, so by these people feel it is a free money and prefer squandering the money whether in gambling or for something else. Gambling with money gotten from airdrops is not a problem, the problem becomes how the funds is being managed while gambling, it's some how a free money but it still can do something important than wasting it on gambling.

True, but someone spends their time on useless online games, so any waste of time is good for something that can give at least some profit. It's great if a person has the strength to constantly look for activities in cryptocurrencies that give maximum profit in a minimum amount of time and minimal effort.

Definitely giving away all the money earned in the casino is a very stupid idea, and with such money management, it is reasonable to say that all the work is in vain.

Hellooo... The last time I can remember, gambling is not recommendable for source of income and so, it doesn't look financially healthy to say they are Investing on gambling. That is ridiculous and misinterpreting about what gambling is about.
There could be a lucky day to be rewarded when one wins in gambling but can vividly say it is a source of income.

Wrong again, gambling is a game of luck and when your luck never comes then you can loose all the time. There is no just compassion for a gambling casino to give you a winning privilege just because you have loosed a lote. So bet wisely because you can not determine the future of your game.

Hey dude, if you know what friends are meant for, you will not argue with me if I say friends are group of persons who cares and watches each others back and not limited to point out errors when anyone goes wrong. I am definitely not referring to the mile of discriminations and judgemental as you may say.

Obviously while being so greedy in chasing profits and loosing our morales is actually what nurtures irresponsible and addicted gambling.
I don't dispute that there is no big winning in gambling but believe it or not, there is more risks on big winning and so you don't assume because there are chances for big winnings and just keep up chasing those winnings. You may just end up running bankrupt and ruining your life.

And use money from their salary to gamble? if they want to gamble for whatever reason they might have it will make them feel good that they are using prize money from the airdrops and not from money worked hard from their office, they may using the same money but it comes with the mindset.
They worked hard on these airdrops so let them decide what they want to do with the money, your concern is good but we have to respect friends on what they want to do with their own money as long as they are not so addicted to gambling.

We are still investing our time and effort with those simple tasks that airdrops requires therefore it is not free because when we are talking about "free" you get it totally free no need to do nothing and no catch. If they use it for their gambling activities then it's their choice and losing it all would be a mistake as they are wasting their time and effort for nothing at all.

Yes your very correct no airdrop that don't require a task someone seeing those to ask as free money means he has some reasoning about how to get money most time when you see means of getting money to be too hard when some task the appear common and you make money out of it such view always become the order of the day. But I have performed some airdrop back them I know how tuff it's to do some task regularly on daily basis except one has means of not doing this task and such person mush have some questionable character.

It was never free! Money is always quid pro quo, the exchange was the task for the air dropped coins. It is best to use up those funds asap in my experience they have not been stable and they are only good in their hype, best to gamble it away in hopes of a come up rather than waiting until that airdropped token is left completely REKT

Apparently the context of this thread does not state about airdrop scamming projects neither does it insight prohibition of airdrop lucky beneficials not to gamble with the funds they made from the airdrop projects.

It is clearly noted that we even afford to have some percentages of our income to gamble, that is absolutely right which is not exempted from earnings on airdrops.

The basic emphasis is that those of uncontrollable gamblers as my friends maybe happens to believe that airdrops funds are free funds so they do not mind having it all to bet on gambling so carelessly without undermining how huge the amount of money involved could be.
Literally such amount of the airdrops funds that is being lavished like that on gambling is beyond their usual gambling budgets.
 That is to say they stakes more with airdrop funds than their reliable source of income source.

Okey, I suppose now I understand better the point of discussion on how airdrops can be used as a way to complement one's gambling budget. Though, there is still something which I don't fully understand about your friends' strategy. Where does the liquidity come from? Since we are talking about airdrops of new tokens and coins, they are not well established within the market or exchanges, so it could be difficult for them to even deposit those new coins and tokens to a casino where they could gamble and spend much of their afternoon having fun.
Also, according to the conditions of the market they could also find decentralized exchanges do not offer the best exchange raters for airdrops coins, due to people selling their rewards as soon as they get access to them, because they would rather have some Ether instead thousands of what some people would consider to be shitcoins.

So do you have any idea on how your friends solve the problem of liquidity?

Airdrops are free money you just need a lot of time to do the task and it is not complicated sometimes have a long time to do the task.

For me they probably won't bother too much thinking about losses because the money they get is free but there is still hard work that must be done and airdrops are not all we imagine doing and then getting money sometimes there is also community service work that is not paid at all.

Gambling using free money from airdrops will not cause big problems for him,,, even though all the money he gets for gambling - runs out, but I myself don't do that free money still has its efforts even without capital so it must be used properly and for gambling it doesn't have to be all of it.

This is just their way to comfort their serf especially if they lose those supposed to be earnings from airdrop. They are maybe became so denial and just say its free money anyway to get less pressure for their selves. But if we really look at the picture about it then we could really figure out that airdrop is not a free money there are certain task that need to fulfill before we can be eligible to their rewards and we need to give some efforts for each task needed to do. That's why its not a free but rather a work to earn scheme.

But its fine if a gambler who use their airdrop earnings to gamble since its their decision to do that anyway. If they got stressed about for losing it maybe next time they should correct their decision making and don't use their hard earned money but use the extra amount they can afford to lose.

First and foremost, they are lucky enough to get those free coins to exchange it in the market and get something out of it. Very rare that you encounter airdrop that will hit in the exchange and convert it to good money. But if they happen to have such coins that they can exchange to the trading market, what they will do to the money is up to them. If they will gamble it or not, it is their business. But of course, as much as possible, better keep it for emergency purposes or add it to your savings.

Coordinated mass shilling lmao

But on a serious note,  it's pretty much a leap of faith for us players as for the most part, it depends on how the casino team plays their card. Yeah, holders can try to shill as much as they want but a bigger entity like the team has so much power IMO. As soon as possible, I think they should work on a CEX -- even a lesser known one would do.

I believe some casinos could def half ass their way on this as well lol. Pretty much why you don't just go beyond your budget at every airdrop in sight lol. Further, I strongly believe we oughta stick to our budgets for the sake of habit building because going over it once could make it easier the second time, then the third time, and the fourth, etc.

What you said is nothing but the truth. There is no free thing, every good things must surely take your time before it will manifest. There is a price to pay in everything we do, just like a gambler who plays gamble regularly and yet no wining but suddenly win big, the person will not call it free money because he has lost several times wasting his time and energy which he could have used for another thing , but channeled it to gambling to study matches and there previous win. When such person wins, it is surely not a waste of time but due to constancy.

For me its not free because I had to do some task to earn that money and if you are calling it free then the 6$ that the utopia teams pays for their Android review would also be called free money because for me the task is very simple and doesn't require much stress work but that also doesn't mean it's a free money. For me I have the believe that every dime is earned and whatever I worked for shouldn't be seen as some sort of free cash because that would only make you place less value on that money and losing it to gambling will definitely have no effect on you, which for me is a bad practice.

I totally agree with you. You are right that nothing in life is free and we always have to work hard to achieve something even you can see an example of free airdrop they also ask to do some tasks earlier. Example you gave about the gambler is good one even if they win lot of money they have already spent a lot of time and energy trying to win. They did not just get lucky they kept trying and that is why they succeeded. This is true for many things in life and we should remember that working hard and never giving up is often key to reaching our goals. And one more thing is that success never comes to you. You will have to earn it.

Free money is no more because this is business, companies spend money with expected returns on investment. Therefore, these people must stop pretending that this is just FREE when participants do something in order to get the prize just to clear out why they have to do these things. But it is their choice anyway, jobless people will take this rather than waste their time waiting for nothing.

I think they should not call this airdrop/free money if it is not totally free in general.

Airdrops are one of the trends after the era of the NFT and play-to-earn games, people tend to work on a specific task and get rewarded and continuously do this once the token is distributed and open into the market, yes its right that they don't make an investment in terms of money but of course they invested their time, again there's no assurance that those airdrops is worth the price so still there's a risk they might lose their time and effort doing to a no value token still there's a risk on it. If they hit a jackpot of course its a worth it of money so i didnt see this as a free money because you are getting paid base on the task you've done.

I mean, I wouldn't consider it "free" since they're doing stuff for it, but I'd consider it possible beer money since it's outside of that regular salary you'd expect monthly from a 8-5 job. I felt the same when I first started with NFTs and got some big bucks with Axie lol. It was temporary yes, but having a sudden influx of money that you usually don't have can make you quite dizzy to the point you have no idea where to spend it since you don't usually handle it.

I reckon give them some time? They'd probably realize what to do after a couple of months of squandering their money.

Assuming this story is true, I don’t really see a problem with what your friends are doing. They earned this money themselves and can do whatever they want. Airdrop farming can be tedious if you want to earn anything meaningful but many people put in the effort so they can have some extra money to spend on luxuries.

As long as they have a primary source of income that isn’t airdrops, and are responsible in managing it, they have earned a right to have some fun and gamble with their extra funds. There might be better ways of spending that money, but it’s still their right to choose.

Things like that still seem to exist for some, especially casino projects. However, most projects require investment before they can get free crypto coins. Even if there is, they still have to wait a while to be able to sell the crypto coins they get.

Some people think it's not worth doing, especially if a new site offers it. But those who feel confident will probably keep looking for it and might invest in it straight away. They don't need to spend money on their capital if they can get their free coins and use them to gamble.

They can gamble using free crypto coins. However, they should be able to think long-term because if the free crypto coins are well received and start to show good performance, there is a chance for the coins to increase. There is no guarantee that they can win from gambling, but they can sell their crypto coins if they can still hold them for a while.

Your perspective on the nature of income aligns with a common understanding which is,there's typically no income without some form of investment,whether it's time,effort,or resources.It's intriguing how some individuals like your Bitcoin investor friends,perceive certain earnings such as those from airdrops,as "free money" due to the absence of direct financial investment.

While it's understandable that they may feel less attached to funds acquired without monetary input it's crucial to recognize that their decision to allocate these earnings to gambling carries significant risks especially if it exceeds their usual gambling budgets. Encouraging them to consider alternative uses for these funds,such as bolstering their Bitcoin portfolios or addressing essential needs,reflects a prudent approach that prioritizes long-term financial stability over short-term gratification.

They,your friends can cultivate financial discipline if they rethink about such thing as "free money" which does not exist,let's make the oldest example here,free as in free speech and not as in free beer.

Gamblers like that are not crazy gamblers but on the contrary in my opinion because they can take advantage of existing opportunities by making money that will be used as gambling capital. It is true what you say that they should be able to add the proceeds from the airdrop to their Bitcoin portofolio but everyone has their own way to enjoy it what he has earned, and once again because it is free money then it should not be a problem and there is no need to worry about it because the free money is certainly not for his main needs and he can definitely afford to lose, and a gambler like that should gamble with the money he can afford to lose so that it doesn't affect his finances at all, although there is a wiser way to use the free money by doing what you said.

Yes, most airdrops nowadays are like that, in which you need to exert some efforts first. Not like in the past that you will only need to fill in your wallet address in the text field and wait for your free coins to get delivered. Many airdrops now are even paid or not free.

If this is the one that those gamblers did, then they shouldn't say that the airdropped coins that they get are a kind of free fund. After all, it was still their money as you said, so it is up to them if they will use this for investing on another coin or they will use it as a capital to play gambling in a casino. Don't say that you can't suggest for them because what you said earlier, seems to be a kind of suggestion already.

They're technically right in my opinion, sure they did put some time and effort but you have to understand that they didn't really put out any money so they can get more money back, that's just how it is and it's not really for you to decide whether that's the thing that you should do with the "free money", it's not yours anyway and if you're concerned about their gambling habits, you're probably too focused on the wrong things.

Most of us think that is how it works. With little work/effort, with also small rewards.
Joining airdrops just serves as a part-time job for others, so they don't bother to complain about it. But for those who think about earning huge from airdrops will only disappointed in the point that it won't give such expected rewards.

The question arises if it is worthy or not. While more reviewers say it is not worth spending their time and is useless, some also find it good and join. It means that not all see things the same way the same as how airdrops look like.

It's up to them. Did you try to suggest that? Or did you just stay silent because you cannot stop them too?

Well, it's true that it could've been better if those free coins were used for investing again in a reputable coin like Bitcoin but maybe they think they can double their money and that's when they will try to invest it in something else.
Gambling is an area where choices are made and I believe their choice is to grow the amount of coins that they have to more. This is a case-to-case basis, you have your own opinion on what to do with the free coins while they also have their own choice on what to do with it. They chose to gamble, and you didn't, will you really try to stop them, or will just let them be?

The rule is, gamble with amounts you can afford to lose. Your friends can afford to lose money they get from airdrops and it doesn't really matter whether it is free money or not. I think we should pay attention to the fact that they are gambling with what they are willing to lose without any form of emotional attachment and not what you think they should do with their money. After all, you won't be getting some returns from their investments if they agree to invest the money as you recommended. They are playing safe and that is all that matters. This is their decision and should be respected.

Well, I remember when faucets were also a task demanding little work and effort in order to be claimed, besides rewards being small. It was possible to make less than 1 dollar daily by spending few hours. Some people had that kind of mindset and end using the faucets' income at casinos in order to increase their earnings, just to make it more worthful. And in case they didn't have positive results, they wouldn't bother at all, since it was just few cents of dollar.

However, those cents of dollar worth right now some dozens of dollar currency. If they had just saved it into a safe wallet, the returns would have been much more consistent and guaranteed by now. Maybe the same is valid for the current workers doing airdrops' tasks in some years from now, although they should immediately convert their earnings to BTC thinking on long term goals. For a young person I think this is the best advice, because the tendency is that he will have time in the future to use the profit he will make from the investments made on the present time.

Most people are unaware that when they turn on the computer, they are wasting electricity, when they spend hours at the computer completing tasks on the internet, they are paying for the internet they use, they are wasting their time. When these people complete these tasks and get paid, they have no idea that it wasn't free money, they worked hard, they spent electricity and internet and time completing the tasks, it's important that people use their brain and think, they weren't offered money, they were paid for the effort they made when completing the tasks

in the real world when a company places an advertisement saying: "we need people to complete task X and we will pay Z amounts" and then states the requirements that people have in terms of education. When it appears people who meet those requirements are hired, perform the tasks and complete the tasks, and are paid. those people weren't given free money, no one talks about that task as being free money, I'm shocked and I can't understand why the same thing that is done in the real world, on the internet is seen as free money, I don't understand what free money would be like. if the person had to work to be able to receive the money?

Despite of those dust amounts but still surprisingly there were people who are really that spending up their time and effort on trying out to grind or even tending to abuse it with multiple accounts and trying to make it fold for how many times until they do able to hit up those withdrawal threshold on which we do know that it is really that close to impossible with this kind target but actually if you are really that extremely lucky then you could really be able to possibly be able to hit that threshold but of course only a few could be able to achieve that. Airdrop amounts are really just that too small on which you wont really be bothering yourself or having those kind of heistance on spending it on gambling because it not something that would really be significant amount that you could really be making yourself that regret on the time that you do lose it.

Airdrops arent really that free funds on which we do know that airdrops nowadays does require that tasks on which i dont consider for it to be free on the sense that you would be exerting effort plus
making use of other resources like electricity on using up your PC or even trying to make some spending in terms of gas or any possible transactions on which we know that it would really be
still spending up money which it isnt free at all. Also, just like been said by most members on here that airdrop nowadays does really ahve that tons of tasks on which its not really that
worth on making yourself that wasting up your airdrop amount even if its small because it isnt worth it.

I agree with you. Money you get from airdrops and forks is free money. I even used to refer to signature campaign money as free because they came with no effort, but that requires at least a small dose of it. Airdrops and forks on the other hand don't, just as casino bonuses, especially the ones for new players. I literally got free money a few times in the form of free rolls, free casino balance with wager requirement (but no deposit requirement) and free money, like when BTC forked into BCH and we all got it for free.

The requirements for some airdrops seem unreasonable to me because you need to have thousands of dollars in trading activity in order to earn points. Sometimes they are also time consuming like requiring you to reach certain achievements in a play to earn game. For airdrop farmers that have a lot of capital and free time, I’m sure they are making some big bucks.

For myself, I’m not willing to put so much effort into chasing airdrops. I only participate in one project's Zealy campaigns and do only the easiest tasks, which is enough to earn a few tokens every month.

Their parents bear the electricity and internet package costs, that's why they say it's free. :P

As for wasting time, pretty sure they're still young, so they still didn't aware if time is more important than money itself. When they turns mature, have a job and taking more responsibility, they will learn how important time is.

Few weeks ago, there was an airdrop name"Notcoin" some people said they participate it without need to invest anything and only tap-tap their screen, IIRC they earn around $200.

As far as I know the real airdrops are those that matchup with how much you already have on a wallet and usually happen as a result of a fork unlike those that requires one to do several tasks before getting paid, and worse off ask for KYC at the end of it..those for me are a no go as they really make you work for the so called free coins AKA airdrops!!!

As of the gamblers that believe Airdrops are free funds, let's just say just because it's not fiat or physical money it brain washes many of us thinking in these lines of it being free money..but whatever they narrative free money doesn't exist, one way or another it will be paid for!!

I agree with you, either ways we work for the money, before we are paid. Nothing is free. You know, I don't seem to understand how people think that Airdrop is free means of making money. You are paid for tasks, time, effort which they couldn't carryout themselves which at times doesn't amount to anything except few, many are often runned off the knowledge of the interested individuals.

No doubt, everyone have there own perception and how they decide to live there life. Wether it's free or not I can't dictate for anyone how they should spend or manage there money, so for me OP is only having headache on some else decision and it wrong.

Usually before someone gets a reward from airdrops, they need to complete several tasks and these tasks can be easy or difficult, so using the money for gambling doesn't matter, after all the money comes from rewards they have done, so it doesn't matter when it's used on gambling since it's not their main income. But if it were me personally, I would not only use the money for gambling, but also for investing in Bitcoin (if sufficient), because that is money too, right, it would be too much of a loss to just use it for gambling.

Well, just apply the rules about "my money, my rules".

And regardless of where they've taken that, it's not a problem at all on how they're going to spend it. By the time they've earned that money, they can spend it freely on anything they want.

Reinvest and buy Bitcoin or even gamble with it all day long. There is no obligation for you even you're friends with them if they have already decided and have a plan on how they're going to spend it.

I like that "my money, my rules" term, it's like that. People should be free to do whatever they want with their money. I guess we can apply "easy come, easy go" here as well, when we earn money in some easy way we usually spend that money pretty fast. Claiming some airdrops can be pretty simple & easy.

There is always something smart that can be done with money, but the desire for easy money through gambling is very tempting, especially for those who love risk. I guess there are a lot of them here, a lot of active gamblers in one place... I am one of them, and I busted some money on gambling a lot of times that came from some work. There are no regrets, I guess I wanted that in that moment and that's it. Maybe we are all lunatic gamblers.

To me whatever amount spent on gambling is not just an ordinary money irrespective that is free month or airdrop even as that airdrop do require some task to carry out before they could be paid, most of the airdrop doesn't pay their participants after having completed the task required for them to receive the airdrop money needed. As a gambler whatever money used to gamble is really worth it and there is no money that should be taken likely and because all money can give rise to some specific amount with all possibility.

I will called them ignorance and perhaps they haven't start taking responsibilities. There is going to be a stage in life where somethings you do that you don't even need a soothsayer to tell you that you are st>pid for doing such things but as I say, they have not get to that stage where they have responsibility. Or could it be that the airdrop they earned were significant amount of money? But I know people that made at least $2k from notcoin recently and that's more than average salary of a person in UK, no way that amount is small.

Gambling can be fun for some people and it can be a way to make money but it should never be a way to be foolish and spend money like someone who doesn't have future. If they think it's below their standards, they should have gave it out for charity than use it to gamble and lose everything or learn to use it to gamble responsibly.

You are right there is no free money, they executed a task so there for it is their reward or payment for participating, even though they didn't invest money they did invest time.
But you also forgot that it is their earning they are free to do as they please to their money.
It is not just for those who earns in airdrop, you could also tell it to those who are receiving their salary or taking their profit from trades or crypto, they all could use it to increase their portfolio but some of them still choose to "dedicating to lavish it on gambling."

Though the money is definitely bigger than their usual spending on Gambling, you forgot that it's always advisable to stake what you can afford to lose in gambling and that's what their doing.

They already see money as a free money and knows if they lost it they won't really bother about it while if they win it will probably be life changer for them, it's a risk they know already and are ready to take.

To be frank I don't totally see anything bad here, as long as they already knew the risk involves in gambling and ready to go on with it then is all good for them after all it's the money they are ready to lose, investing this money on Bitcoin is a great idea but don't forget people stake millions in gambling that they are ready to lose in gambling and also having understanding about the risk involved while they could have just invested on Bitcoin which is less risky but they opt for it because they wants to and like it.

Each person does have their own approach on things on which they do believe that they could really be able to get those free money out of airdrops but its true that this isnt
indeed free money considering that you are exerting effort and doing up some tasks on which i couldnt consider it to be free and something that wont really be that easy.
Time spending and effort are considered having that cost.It such a waste if you would really be that gambling down all the money that you had get from airdrop.

Bare in mind that not all the time that you would really be only earning a small amount of money on airdrops since there are drops that could give out that huge one.
So its better to make use in worthy way rather than on losing it all in a snap which i dont see that i do make myself on doing that.  8)

I had a friend the other day, who had made some profits from the recent airdrops. He said same thing that it's free money though his own wasn't to use them for gambling because he had better plans and which was to use them to trade the forex and crypto market. It's a better plan I guess and sometimes we don't actually have to be wasteful just because we didn't work too hard for the funds we have to also be wise when spending. We can use a portion for gambling, and when we see that we are losing too much, we can just back out already and not spending all in gambling.  It won't bother if we loss them to gamble but we have to make smart choices at all time.

The money you received through an airdrop was most likely received in the form of altcoins. Most often these are tokens of some project. Sometimes they have some significant price and can be sold, that is, exchanged for more liquid funds, for example, USDT or bitcoins. But more often than not, the funds received through airdrops are very small payments when converted into USDT. In most cases, they are unlikely to be used for a long time to pay for bets in sports betting, for example. Yes, this creates the illusion of free money, but it’s just free money.

Yeah, that's very simple and we don't meddle with what others do if it is their private property or money.

You said it loud and clear.

When it's about money making, everyone listens and has their own ways and many will agree that when the first time we'd knew about gambling, we have all thought the same thing.

We make some and bust a lot of it and this is the life of gamblers. But when someone tells or dictates you where you should spend your money, that's a different thing.

Even as gamblers, we don't want to hear something like that but we appreciate the concern.

I think that sooner or later everyone feels a sense of lost profits. And even if such players who lose profits from cryptocurrencies in gambling will not think about it for a long time, then after a while they will still think about it. This is our human nature. And then they will understand how much money they could have invested and how much profit they missed.
After all, quite recently - a year ago - bitcoin was worth three times less. There was a price of about 25 thousand dollars. And those who invested then were able to earn very well.

But for those who still search for that airdrop thinks that's free money that they can use as first capital in crypto. Although they don't gets much rewards from the project, that will not be a problem for them. Those people still search for the other projects because they believe that they will gets a hidden projects that can gives them much profit. They also accepts the rewards in token and keeps saves that token in their wallet and hope that the token price can increase someday. That will what some investors do with the project but the investors will invest some money and lets the project works for them. If they are lucky, they will make a big profit. But if not, they should accept it because investing in that project will have a risks so they will not have a problem.

Actually this is true but base on Op post I think those his friends understand the risk in gambling and I guessed they have had their share on wins and losts in gambling before now, so I think they see the risk as worth it that's why they want to go for it, just like how your friend sees crypto/forex trading as the best option to spend similar money, since they  all might already knows the risk on the path they are venturing into which is risky and are similar in the sense that trading is almost like gambling especially when it involves leverages.

It's within their discretion on where to use these funds. Technically, these aren't free because those who participated in the airdrop campaigns actually did something for the coin i.e. marketing it somewhere or completing menial tasks. Then again, your friends might see it as 'free' because of how it was labeled, "Airdrop."

IMO it's much better for them to have this mindset rather than use their 'hard-earned' funds from their salaries to gamble. In a way, it's easier to let go of funds that they gained from doing easy tasks rather than the funds they gained from their full-time job.

Your point is valid however, you can't really control the minds of these people to do what seems to be the 'right thing' after all.

there is no "free money", not in this case.
even when some airdrops have been distributed there is a sort of work behind it (likewise signing up for a particular service or just earning a stake/rewards related to holding such coin).
 
in the end it's like they are using "bonuses" to bet. Of course, it doesn't mean that coins received with airdrops have any long-term value... ::)

I don't want to say they are crazy, it is true that Airdrop Tokens are given for free, maybe not now, but in 2017 Airdrop Tokens were distributed for free, all you need to do is register on their platform, they will get Airdrop Tokens for free, as I know Uniswap tokens which have no value are now worth $11/Uniswap.

As we know, many gambling platforms currently include payment and withdrawal features with Uniswap tokens, this is something that is impossible to happen, it can happen, Uniswap is one of the airdrops that is worthless and becomes valuable.

My understanding is that it's legal for those/investors who still have Airdrops to take advantage or use them for gambling and they can win them in betting, for me it's okay to play Airdrops in gambling, for those who still have them at this time.

I am surprised to see that airdrops rewards are directly getting to a more liquid currency to be able to spend on casinos. Normally casinos allow only the top coins out there but not the recently launched airdropped coins. The later would need time to get listed on exchanges and then converted to high order coins - like BTC/ETH/DOGE/LTC or any of that before being spent.

I would like to know more about what I said above if the OP can gather the information.

Still they are wrong and it is out fundamental duty to teach them that the folly in airdrops is that the owners are stealing private data from the participants, this should not be encouraged from the participants side.

@op, You don't have to be surprised it is no longer new that different people with different conception and interpretation, misinterpretation of things, money gotten from airdrops are not free money and can never be, rather it is an appreciation that is given as a result of the services that is being render to the project team which means a lot to them in terms of creating that public awareness. However, most of the airdrops are not even paying this days but if you got lucky and receive a reward from anyone, it should be utilizing wisely as must I say that there is no means of getting money that is easy or free, just that people may tend to view things differently based on individual circumstances.

I think OP is not implying that either. Most of his friends probably convert the tokens for BTC or ETH and send them to a casino to gamble. While I don't follow most new airdrops closely, I do earn a decent amount of money in the last few months from these airdrops. They are not free since most of them reward on-chain activity though, and some do ask for KYC (which I avoided). At the end of the day how people use their airdrop rewards is up to them. That being said, I'd suggest they save some of them instead of using them all to gamble especially if they require on-chain activity to earn them (basically paying the dev through gas fees IMO).

yeah meaning in the end of it all? its their own decision to what will lead them into anything they wanted
I just wanted to wish them good luck and hope to not leading in losing everything they earn hard because
of their own mistakes and stupidity not listening to our advises.
Lucky for the people that already knew how to deal and how to not lose like many have done in the past and up to now.
