Hi everyone,

im new to airdrop but i encountered bitcoin in 2015 and learn my lesson. since i encash my 3.8 BTC in 2015.
you do the math i kinda lost the opportunity and dont want to make that mistake again especially with airdrop in which
i got the coins for free.

I kinda felt bad for bitbase and other people who just dupm their free coins where it has a potential to be so much more.

Im planning to hold mine for atleast 2 years. if i really need the money.

I was skeptical before but im done being skeptical with cryptocurrency. I already paid my price.

the pumps are going on all around the altcoin market, you don't need to stick to the airdrops to maybe someday a pump comes and you make money 1 out of a 10000 times. you can buy into any of the coins that are being pump at any time and make the same or even more profit with no time wasted on your money being idle.

and people dump their airdrop coins because they know everyone else is doing it, so they try to be quicker about it and get the better price before the crash. and that expectation alone is enough for a crash to happen right after the release.
if you really see potential you can always buy back what you dumped!

It's simply because a huge majority of the coins being airdropped aren't as good technology-wise compared to bitcoin years ago. Also, doesn't mean that bitcoin multiplied alot of times, it doesn't mean the same will happen to those coins that airdropped.

A lot of currently airdropped coins are just 'pump and dump', there is nothing behind them. Recent 'eSomething' coins are a good example. There are interesting airdropped coins that have a future, but they are few.

Most of them wants easy money even the profits are really small. That's what they wanted

Im tired with airdrops ,joining into different airdrop campaign and recieved thier token but the sad part is they are all scam coins, tradable but no value at all, causs theres no even a single order.

Law of supply and demand, so is the market has its pos and cons, the secret is to find the right time,

As the name suggests, they are merely free coins and people see this as free money. With that in mind, people will start to sell them of as soon as they are listed in the exchange because more often than not, the prices of these free coins tend to nose dive. They will not take the risk of having a much lower value of it if they just hold these coins. 

Since they are merely free coins from recently-concluded forks, it's best to just monetize them and use the money/cash into some other ventures like investing into another altcoin or whatnot. Also, there are no stability or guarantees on these said coins, so why not dump it off while it still have some value and not be left with paperweight?

people dump these free coins because of they aren't really profitable coins. Also airdrop owners aren't liable for holding these coins. if i see a true and successible projects i will hold their coins for later.

Personally, I hold almost all the airdropped coins I get. While it is possible to make small amounts by selling them right away (usually less than $50) it isn't worth the trouble to me, and you can't really tell which ones have a future (though there are signs that indicate more or less potential). Even ones without a new tech behind them could catch on in some niche context or become popular with a specific community/subculture. I feel like it is just impossible to really tell so I hang onto them and plan to check back in a year or so. Good luck!

I think now, more than ever, is a time to accumulate different coins at low prices. My strategy with airdropped coins/tokens is to just sit on them for a good time, and have them be the "outlier" portfolio that someday might surprise me.

If you receive something valuable for free, would you keep it or sell it? most airdrop coins are shitty ones, and they are not even worth $1 each one, because there are billions of them in circulation.
Honestly, i dont even trust in deeponion and it is one of the most trusted airdrops, but who knows, maybe people are only joining airdrops in order to sell those free coins later.
The same applies to bitcoin gold and bitcoin cash, dumping them was the best desicion that i took.

Good for you. That is right. Keep your money to yourself.

Not everyone dumps them. I know lots of people who mine, collect airdops, do bounties on as many coins as they can and keep them all. Even if 95% of them are dear in a year or two the rest might give you some juicy profits, and if not - what do you really lose? Right, nothing except a bit of your time.

Good point! Welcome to shitcoin lovers club mate :)

Nowadays airdropped coins are all eShitcoins. I dumped all eShitcoins but I didnt with other coins. Hold eShitcoins gives you nothing.

Crypto world consists mostly noobs who just want to make quick bucks without having to do anything, but free.
These noobs don't like to wait specially when they get it for free because, when they know they got something that gets pumped initially, get too much scared of the possibility of that coin to become something which will have some worth in the future. All just because it's free.
It is said that only a true "Bitcoiner" knows the real value of "Bitcoins", others are just dead-fall.

Many people dump free coins from airdrops just because they think such coins have no future. So it's better to convert to ETH or BTC before it's too late and they get delisted from exchanges...

I'm sure many people dump due to rising price of bitcoin. My thoughts are, why not just hodl what you have been given in most cases free and help support the project that is graciously giving you these coins/tokens. Greed tends to take over. I will continue to hodl all airdrops I have received and if down the road pays off then cheers!! If any or all become extinct than so be it. It is very important for the success of each project to show full support in these regards. Stay true and hodl my friends especially when it cost you next to nothing but a few minutes of your time. Hodl is the only way

Most of airdrops are tiny in value, so unless you cheat I don't see other way to accumulate # of coins requires for a minimum trade volume on any exchange.

Here, Here! I second that, no truer words have ever been spoken. For example, we've got a lot of people selling their Bitcoin Gold before even giving it a chance and many are still hating themselves for selling their Bitcoin Cash at the very beginning, don't be those people. If you're currently holding any BitcoinGold then give it  a few months or a few years before making any big decisions.

Makes sense though after reading comments from Senior members. Dump as soon as it hit exchanges, then rebuy at a low if you see future in it.

It`s market. People got it for free and want to get max profit. Why not? I have ~15 coins from airdrops. 3 I sold immediately. Other I hold, because of their price. And it becomes lower and lower every day. So the best strategy for airdrops coins is to sell them on the first day.

i never joined any airdrop campaign, but after you said that i can learn something from you.

I rarely participate in airdrops, but I can say that mostly of these coins aren't good for long term holding. It would be best to sell it when become listed on exchange(s) and then everyon will forget about these coins after dumping it. And it's good way to increase your Bitcoin assets after selling airdroped coins, or invest money in altcoins.
But I can say that I still didn't sold my Bitcoin Cash airdrop, despite that I didn't planned to hodl it in long term.

It's true, Yeah people now are doing that but they didn't realize after how many days that coin will pump.
Patience is virtue. Why are you in such rush? Sometimes rush doing couldn't help you.

I will only dump my coins if i will knew that it will not have any value after a week or a month. Im gonna dump them all before it became useless.

join airdrop and earn free money ;D

it depends on free coin holders, everyone wants to get more profit, but because they tought that they have gain profit on that price, so they sell their freecoin, they just sell it not dump it. they wont wait til the coin has reach 0.00000001 or there no buy order on that coin.

I love keeping free coins since it requires little effort from my side, a tweet or a share and bingo, I have them in my wallet.

I recall a guy that got 0.1btc in an airdrop $700 app.

Some people are just greedy and they just want to sell their coins as soon as the get them. They find short term and not long term...
You also have some people that do not have faith in a project so they sell the coins fast to change them for stronger coins and then HODL those for longer to make a profit. Often the price of the free coins is so long though that I always prefer to HODL them, you never know what happens ;)

When the project is good, has established timeline, then it is not about speculations, it is about the project.

man now you have your future now it,s your opportunuty good luck .

I know that most of airdrop are not serious at all, scam or maybe it can be a good oportunity to make money, the thing is that I think that everyone has to keep them to help the projects because both of you will benefit of it... it the ICO goes well you that token will raise and you will make some good money for free. That's the thing, it's FREEEEEEE so... help the ICO's just holding tokens.

What is airdrop?Are there afew coins offering this?

Very few air drop coins have value. Most are just pump and dump and not worth the hassle. Don't waste your time on those and do your research before trying.

Yeah i have seen people now are eager to sell. Maybe that's the reason why most of airdrop token now in etherdelta are always dumping..now i know  ;D

Airdrop is a good reaearch tool - on the basis of micro trade one can establish if the information is properly distributed among future ICO participants. For example, during information about our ICO, people are starting to buying off the token or taking hold positions. It means that we inform properly.


By the way, today's news - very important for our ICO:

Important announcement:we have just confirmed first partner for the project: https://www.facebook.com/skytechmusic/  Skytech Music. He cooperates with i.e. Spinning Records,  Armada Music, R3HAB.

Skytech will be supporting our project in contacts to the music industry in terms of introduction of our future loyalty system to their stores.


It's huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of currently airdropped coins are just 'pump and dump', there is nothing behind them.You know, but it’s really interesting to watch how cryptocurrency is becoming more available for each of us. https://mytc.io/ Ive just checked their website and wanna try it. A blockchain platform to turn time into the cryptocurrency.
