Hello, from my small knowledge in Airdrop, I think Airdrops are only good in the path of the project and not for people participating in the airdrop because in the part of the Project, it increases the reach of the project (project awareness and social media reach increases) and on the path of people participating it only gives them small rewards which makes it more favorable to the Project.

Please share your view on this so i can update my knowledge if am wrong. Thanks

Yes it's only small rewards but if it were much bigger rewards it wouldn't be good for the projects as there would be better marketing alternatives. Also don't forget that it's so easy to sign up to airdrops that you really shouldn't receive that much.

You are right with what you have said. Most times, airdrop rewards are always low and the strategy behind this is that;
- it creates more awareness for the project
- it makes those given small reward, to buy more during the ICO or after the ICO.

It's good for both. A cheap promotion for the project and free coins for the participants.
Though most of the time the price of airdrop token don't even cover the transaction fees.
But for some good project, it reaches over $100.

It can benefit the both sides. it is one way to introduce the coin to the community. It is also giving the public a way to earn extra money for the participants.

Personally I don't bother participating in airdrops because the amount you receive is so small it ends being nothing more than a nuisance clogging up your wallet. I suppose that the person issuing the tokens thinks they get some value out of it, perhaps increasing the marketcap or spreading the word, but for me when I see people giving away tokens I think they are sending the message that the tokens have no value and are unlikely ever to because the people behind the project are incapable of producing something that people would actually want to buy.

yeah airdrop is good for strong projects, it is a way to gather more community members and make to be aware of your project and in the end of them might end up investing in the project if they find the project interesting, so airdrop is good for a project.

I think airdrop is not profitable, but it only benefits their project and they also give a little token, I do not really like to participate to airdrop but I would rather participate to bounty campaign I think it's more profitable

For the project side, air drops can increase the number of supporters, so this is what the project team wants to see.
For those who participate in airdrops, they can get a certain amount of income.

Yes, there some airdrops that only favours the project and not the participants, but there are some that favours both. For instance ontology had its airdrop in February 2018 and 1000 token was given to each participants. Ontology got listed at $3 and the participants became rich and also the project keeps flourishing.

Airdrops helps projects exposure its a very easy task most of it gives small rewards but its okay because its free so if you got it for free its good for both sides, Some of them needs kyc but be careful some of them the only purpose is just to steal info's.
before I earn $2000 came from 1 airdrop token it was prl 😊 but now most of them need referrals and bots.

Yes, airdrop only bring more investor join their project, but not for you earn from airdrop, airdrop just a very small value free money, can't cover transaction fees, don't focus on airdrop, become a ICO investor or bounty hunter, income better than airdrop  :)

Usually airdrop is distributed free of charge especially for the bounty hunter, for me the value is enough, if you want to get bigger, you can come to invest in the project and will get airdrop with bigger value.

Yes it's good for project, more over they don't send much, it's just used to get more holders into the project. I really don't do air drops , else it looks so good that it's worth holding

The more Airdrop, the prospect of a project will increase, because in terms of enthusiasts will be overrun with the number of participants who follow. although the amount of airdrop also does not close the possibility will reduce the market of a project, because in general for those who receive the results of airdrop will sell as soon as possible without seeing the development of projects that have been followed. But with the airdrop and the more people who hold and follow it, the project will be more successful because it is always supported by the crowd.

Airdrop is one of the marketing methods of the project. Its role is only to promote the product. If it provides too many rewards for the people who joined, then it will affect the price of its tokens! For players participating in airdrops, it is also a good option to earn a small amount of profit in minutes! So both airdrops can get benefits!

For the project with ICO, developed product, working team, fulfillment of its goals and road map, I consider airdrop to be a very useful thing, it is additional assistance and free advertising of the company's product and its specialists, confirmation that the project works and has great prospects for growth. But I am against a million airdrops, which are pacifiers and collect user data, and attract investment in empty projects.

Airdrop is majorly beneficial to the project except one has a massive referral. I got a rethink after I was sent 5 tokens fro a project of 100billion total supply and another project sent me 18 tokens from 1billion supply. Ever since then , I select the airdrops I fill to avoid wastage of energy and too many bombardment of my telegram app. But should I see a project not conducting ICO, I do join the Airdrops, and also a project that specifies how much token will be airdropping per participant, I join in relation to the project coin supply and future value.  

In my opinion, the airdrop program provides a reciprocal advantage between a project and an airdrop participant. Although the average token given in airdrop is relatively small, but if the project is able to grow rapidly, that would be a big advantage.

I really do not see any point in airdrops but really though, who cares since it is free money anyway and you would not really have to do much most of the time. The thing with airdrop is that you will have to be ready to hold as long as you want to.

Some may end up doing great in the long run and some may not, but the idea is to have a huge community behind the coin. It is easy for a project to end up highly volatile in the long run, when very few people are holding the market.

I think majority of the people replying see it in my way so my knowledge is right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and explanation on how the airdrops helps.

Think i will partake in one airdrop one day and keep for long to yield.

The thing about airdrops is that it is just another marketing strategy to get as much people as possible involved in the project by giving out coins but if they gave out more than just a small amount then that would not be good for the project because they would be giving a lot of the coins away which would mean not a lot of people will be buying the coin and putting money into the project which will affect its growth.

I never understood the point of airdrops...for anyone.

Airdrop for a good project, I'm participated some of Airdrop like Hydro Protocol and some traders really want to buy more coz they have the working product. Some airdrops are really good for advertisement.

The concept of airdrop is to help build a strong community around a project, but it is disturbing now that ones a token is airdropped, the next thing is that  people start dumping it on the exchange, for me there is no amout of tokens that is small, I saw recently how Hydro token price grow and people that participated in the project are happy about the growth in price

Airdrop is actually good more for the project and possibly for those who may actually just want to hold the project for long anyway. The thing about airdrop is that it helps to create a community of holders most especially and a vast majority of people holding the coin rather than having it just centered. In that way it makes it easy for some to hold simply since in the short term, it is really nothing to write home about in terms of value anyway.

It is actually the awareness that really makes airdrop what it is.
Like some have said, it helps to bring about a community and even though it may be small now, but whoever is holding surely would be ready to hold long, knowing that it makes no sense selling now since it is worth nothing much and with that spread across a lot of holders, that makes it interesting to have some pretty huge number of holders with the coin or token, no matter how little they are holding.

I have seen some airdrops participants who actually had a profits on their rewards. As long as you are courageous enough, nothing is impossible. But for me, I haven't tried before until now that airdrop thing. Particularly haven't tried their rewards. I don't know but I just DON'T have patience on airdrops.

of course, this will be mutually beneficial and good for both. participants also will receive a token or coin for free. and even project will also get results because the airdrop is part of their marketing plans in the running of the project in order to have extensive marketing, how to introduce the coins or tokens to a lot of people.

Airdrop is good for the project, but for the participants the payment is too low

I don't think airdrops are any good.
Because more people will sell the token, it will have an impact on the price of the token.

For new projects, Airdrop is simply a necessity

Airdrop is the loss of time how much I participated Most did not pay the fee and if paid after a large amount of time

If a project is running an ICO and distributing airdrop within, really it would create awareness but I never care about the airdrop for the fact that it would be meaningless where you will be getting 2usd in airdrop. I can only participate in pure airdrops without ICO if observed it would make sense some days

What benefits does the company get by airdrops? are not they just distributing tokens for free? and what advantages the participants get, usually they only get a small token and sometimes just become shitcoin

I think both, because you can have a income in choosing two things. You should be versatile or flexible so that you can be able to make more income that can helps you in funding about your future.

What is the main reason why ICO do AIRDROPS?

To gather audience and followers on their social media, people will share their post and it will reach many audiences from a different part of the world.
To get members for their Telegram group, this will attract more people especially investors to come to them.

You're right somehow. Airdrops are good ways of getting your project to reach a lot of participants. Anywas I think it is better for a project to get more bounty participants other than airdrop. Airdrop signees just sign up and leave the project. They'll come back at the end of the sales to claim tokens. Bounty participants otherwise keeps the project active.

In my opinion, airdrop is very good for the project as well as bounty . this is good

In my own perspective airdrops are good for both people who are participating on it and for the project because as the project was still going on the people who participated it is able to earn some money.

I think airdrop is an essential way in order to reach a wider audience. However, the are also downsides like verifying the participants and the actual distribution process. This requires additional manpower for the project and distributions costs too.

I think of the same thing, airdrops help a project to reach more people to invest in their project. I believe that participating in airdrops is not worth it because it only gives us rewards which most of the time has no potential to grow and you'll probably end up gaining nothing from it. I suggest that you participate in bounty campaigns which give us much higher rewards compared to airdrops.

For ICO, airdrop is a good opportunity to create a kind of a large number of participants . For bounty hunters, airdrop doesn't pay much to participate in them.

I believe that this is not a difficult job. To work or not? It's your decision. I fill in forms, because the coin can grow in value. You will profit in the future.

Participating in airdrops is truly good...  Even it has a small chances that we will earn a big reward but still it is good because it is for free..  Yes airdrops projects are created not to only to those who participate but also ot because for the goodness of bounty project...  Well if one project has an airdrop it has a huge chance that it is true...

Sometimes airdrop good for project, sometimes airdrop good for airdrop participants. It's depend on their project

There are many valuable airdrop. Although the quantity is not much but sometimes the price increases. I usually attend airdrop anytime.

Airdrop is as good as it gets, how i see it is that, it benefits both the project and the participants, though i agree most of the airdrop tokens cant cover for transaction fees, i have also seen those that are quite a hand full and some times, its better not to be in a hurry to dump, that way, you get good value.

It is beneficial to both. Because it is the fastest marketing method and the least reward per person. Airdrop usually takes place within a week and can attract tens of thousands of participants. And the amount of money spent on each person is about $ 2-3. This is the way that I think the best. the fastest

Yes airdrop is good for project and also for participant. It's an easy thing to do for a participant.Not only the participant can benefit but also the project. Participating in an airdrop gives you easy tokens but you just have to wait.

your thought is very true my friend, now a days almost project has a airdrop/referral system features are using community to gain more investors and they are paying less or very tiny amount of tokens that they shared allocation for their participants. in short, its a worthless. so, for me only the team are the who benefits.

Airdrop is used for promotional purposes so if it's successful, then it would be beneficial for both the participant and project creators. Airdrops generate advertisement for the project and there are times when you would have to accomplish some promotional tasks such as making a retweeting or sharing on facebook to participate in an airdrop.

Not in all cases that airdrops are profitable when you hold. There are times when it's more profitable to sell after the token release because the price then plummets down after dumps have been made. Airdrops are not always made for long term but its pretty easy and free money for the participant and free cost for the developers.

although only a small gift but I think at least there will be income that will be in the can for Airdrop participants. so in my opinion it will be very good for the projects being developed but on the other hand there will be benefits that can be made for people who participate in the Airdrop program.

As for me, it is not rewarding to join in different airdrops anymore. Some of them aren't paying enough to help us gain enough profit. Though a certain ico might succeed, they still pay a very small amount of coin which is notbprofitable to hodl. I see no future with airdrops.

There are no airdrop good for airdrop participants :). Airdrop is a part of promotion campaign of new ICO project and they often spend just a really little amount of token for airdrop and I think it's really work cause there are so many lazy guys don't wanna work but still wanna have money so they choose participate in airdrop. LOL. There are nobody can become millionaire by joining airdrop only :)

I am a bounty hunter very supportive of bounty project, but airdrop also not bad, katena before I follow bounty usually I prefer airdrop because tokennya often sent first ,, and vice versa ..

It good for both. airdrop is always good. it's gives free token for participate. although it's not give huge token but it's good project. you can participate Airdrop and get some token.

Looks like the thing about airdrop is that it is just marketing strategy, to get as much people into is as possible to involve in the project by giving out coins         

I think that airdrops are a waste of time my friend and a waste of efforts, i advice rather to focus on doing socials media company boutny programs, creating content such as blog post  and videos, and also doing signatures company .

Yes I agree with you airdrops programs are useless , i preffer bounty program , they are more profitable

It's good for both, for the project it will promote the project and make people know the project.
And for the participant ofc it's good because they got free coins.

With the help of airdrop you will not earn much, but nevertheless it is a good opportunity to get a few dollars just for registration. But on the other hand, when there are so many scams, it ceases to be a liquid way of earning.

I dont know about other guys here in the discussion, but from my sight I can say, that I think Airdrops are useful both for the project and for the participants. One get free advertisement, others- free tokens.

If they will give out more than just a small amount of coins then that would not be good for the project because they would be giving a lot of the coins away which would mean that price of the coin will grow slowly                              

I also think that airdrop is necessary for a good project . Airdrop is like advertising, and very cheap, usually rewards for airdrop is very small

It is always good for a project for there to be airdrop since there is a lot more potential for more people to be interested in the coin using airdrops and the participants can be made to actually promote the coin to get their coins. Although now a lot of the airdrops are not trustworthy since they never pay out or they are trying to scam people out of their hard earned money

This is the trouble with some airdrops, sorting which is legitimate and which is a scam.
Airdrops can be beneficial for all involved if they pay out and are regular, rewards keep people interested and involved.

Airdrops were more profitable during the Bull market, even at that majority were outright scam and the few others were worth peanuts. Right now I do not expect any good return from any airdrop going by the prevalence of a lot of failed projects and the effect of the bear market

Of course win both a project and participants. For project it is a good marketing tool. It not just advertise the project it give opportunity to participants try to use product or service for free.

Generally airdrops can be small amounts  for example something like 5 dollar or 10 dollar. But it is very good in my opinion because that is increasing awareness about project if it will be even 5 dollar. Because people can earn 5 dollar only with giving some eth adress. That is not bad and also that is important for projects. But generally bounties are more profitable than airdrops.  For example pchain did some airdrop for their telegram channel and they have a telegram channel with more than 45k people and i think they did that only with 1 dollar or 2 dollar value of airdrop per person.

Though this airdrop gives small rewards but not all, it is ok for us airdrop hunters of doing this. Small tasks are required for you to be qualified to get their rewards. Simply liking, following or sharing their post are required. Not so hard. I earned from airdrop a lot. It is not bad.

Indeed at the very least it's easy to do and can add to earnings. but I see a lot of airdrop system only benefits one side only that is on the participants. many projects use only line airdrop and when they entered in the market that took a long time and the price is relatively small. even the longer it will sink into the basic value is very low.

It is good for both as airdrop participants has to do simple tasks and get rewarded accordingly. The reward is
small, usually $5-10 but one day if the project becomes successful it can have much more value.
Due to the market situation airdrops are not profitable as they were earlier.

It is beneficial for both the participants and the project itself. The project will get more popularity through airdrops while participants will have that token for almost free though only a small amount.

Airdrop is good for airdrop participant because they can have the airdrop coins/token for free. but airdrop is good for project too, because the project just can promote their ico with low cost budget for participant who promote their project. also, there's so many participants who joins the airdrop.

Most icos give conduct airdrop campaigns because they want popularity for their projects and not necessarily because they want to give free tokens out. Some also do it because they want to increase the number of holders and traders for their tokens so that there can be adequate buying and selling transactions on exchanges.

In my opinion, if the project is worthy, then it should not produce an air frame, the project will collect its money by itself without the help of an airdrop, I will give an example #swachhcoin. The project will pay people for their trash. At the moment, the bonus is 25%, you can buy coins by the end of October. I advise you to see the project.

airdrop is indeed not all give satisfactory results. This might be a be a sign that the airdrop only benefits from the party or a ride on the project only. but unless it benefits both projects as well as a participant in it. regardless of the results of the small or large from the airdrop, of course, depending on how to run the job.

They are useless and not rewarding participating in airdrops I remember joining 10 airdrops but all I'm getting is $1 to $5 worth of token when it is lucky to get into the market and sometimes if you are unlucky you cannot even sell it, because people are to hurry to dump them and move on to the next airdrop.

If you want to participate to any airdrops i think theres is nothing wrong about this. But bear in mind that some airdrop nowadays are failed projects. Maybe this is not the best time to join any airdrop because of market situation.

all activity seems to be distracted because crypto market conditions. whether it's trade, investment, bounty, or airdrop very unsatisfactory condition now. whether we should retire while by not doing anything before the market goes back up?

I think both of them have the same advantages.
for airdrop participants they get free coins that have value, while for project owners they have many communities who can build the project for the better.

Airdrops ares still good but not most of it. I mean there are only few airdrops for now that is good potential, there are lots which are very low in value or do nto have value at all we only just waste our time in signing for an airdrops.

Based on what i understand, Airdrop is useful both for the project itself and the participant.
For the project, the coins get known since many people has them, and for the participant they get some free coins in an easy way.

Some of the airdrop projects have been good and it is an alternative way to distribute the coins and promote the project without going through the ICO procedure. As long as they can find an exchange to list with and there is a solid usage case then there is no reason the project cannot progress and be viable.

I think because of the Abuse we saw with how projects adopt the use of Airdrops people tend to fee it is bad. Airdrops is very good to build community around a project. Ontology did this recently and we now see how successful the project is today. There are a number of projects that have adopt this and do it right

I consider thus airdrop with great market value as good project because participant can benefit on it than to thus airdrop who just to give a penny to any participant just to create awareness of their token but anyway it is their marketing strategy but it is not worth-it to hold.

I do not join airdrops anymore but I still do not agree that it only benefits the project and not the participants. I mean where else can you spend your 5 or 10 minute social media time and earn $10 worth of tokens? That's better than nothing. Note that the $10 can also become $100.

Yes you are right airdrop only benefit the project and it is not configured to adequately pay for the work. Airdrop makes the projects very popular and increases their ratings due to the large number of people in their groups.

You are absolutely right Airdrop of these days is more of wasting of time unlike earlier this year or even last year people are no more interested in Airdrop unlike before because of the little amount given to people, i think only people who have been in the crypto for a long time understand that because newbie won't even consider the payment all they're after is them to get coin thinking might be useful in future..

That depends on the situation, lately some project applying KYC for the airdrop, When that happen it will just giving benefit for the project itself, and makes the loss for the airdrop participant.

It's good for both project and airdrop participants. We join airdrop and earn token as money, project need our help to make their community more crowded and more people know about the project. It's a win-win situation.

I dont believe in airdrops anymore for its going down how bitcoin faucets.
It was second stage of free cryptos

Many projects offer free airdrops to let investors know about their projects. This is a common promotional technique.

I think airdrop is very good, it helps people to pay more attention to the project, so that it can be successful

It usually draws a lot of attention from the crypto community and it can also bring you some benefits. But in 99,9 percent of cases, these Airdrops are worth nothing and are completely useless. I think it brings something to a project and could lead to more contributors.

It is good for both sides, but in some cases reward is too big or too small and someone of parties gain more or less for their effort,that's it. Sometimes you've uploaded your KYC, made actions and airdrop worth nothing. Yeah, it is usual story, but there are big rewards as well!

Before that, Irdrop didn’t give anything particularly serious, and in the current market situation I think it’s just a waste of time.

Yes, I agree with you, it is! I'd add that, of the 100 airdrops, only 4-5 normal. The rest is fraud, or too little reward.

Before now Airdrops use to be ok for both project and the community but for now it has become no go area because of the reduction in the rewards as a result of multiple entries that has become the order of the day for community,although projects still benefit from it but as for community is not worth it.

For project,i will say yes but for community not anymore.Airdrops use to be ok but for sometime now it has become a shit because the rewards has been reduced.

Airdrop for now is not  worth it for the participant,but for the project,i guess they are benefiting from it because they can actually reach out to so many by giving out small rewards.

Airdrop is usually done because there is indeed a program for Airdrop itself. So the allocation for airdrop has certainly been prepared. For the good impact of airdrop, of course there is added value. We can say that Airdrop aims to promote the project. So this is fine for me personally.

in my opinion both are very good because they both benefit from each other
project is lucky because it can tell everyone and has many communities
Airdrop participants get payments equivalent to their short work

Until now when airdrops started appearing in cryptocurrency, I only saw a few projects that were airdrops that could make participants earn a small amount of several dozen dollars. It is Polymath and most recently XLM. The rest of the majority are too low value to be able to appeal to participants, so they often airdrop automatically to make more people know about their projects.

And there is.  Almost always Airdrop pay very small payments, and even more often they don’t pay at all, but those who pay out turn out to be good!

I think that both the participant and the project will benefit. The participant receives a reward and spreads the word about the project which is a good advertisement for the project. And some projects make airdrop for the holders of their tokens, it's also a good encouragement.

Recently, I participated in airdrops which forced to strain and think about the answers. More and more projects conduct various quizzes as airdrop. I hope that the rewards will be worthy. And yet, I think that airdrops are more beneficial for projects.

I do not think that Airdrops are good at the moment, because in the most cases, you do not get anything for participating in an Airdrop. Airdrop tokens are distributed 3 months after the first listing and they are usually worth nothing.

Airdrop is part of the promotion of the project, it will also attract investors and give the bounty hunters a free tokens with just a little works to do , airdrop is good truly for the project , so it is good for both the participants and the bountu project itself, it is a trully a small amount of token but its better than none at all.

I agree now very little of airdrop is worth something, just a year ago, a lot of tokens cost good money and now either disappeared from the market or cost little money

Yes, there are usually smal payments for airdrops participants. But exactly they don't do something hard or specila, likes, tweets, reposts or basic registration. And for these actions you want hundreds dollars?? I think that payments should be small.

I think that it is very smart way how to satisfy both sides. Participants believe that they are doing something that can bring them profit in the future and ICOs have "free" promotions.

I completely disagree. Most of the airdrops are trash and what I hate the most is the KYC. A lot of them will request for KYC and they will just send a coin that has a less than a dollar value. My wallet is full of shit coin and coins with below $5 USD value. Do the math and you will know that it won't be enough to cover for the gas fees. LOL. Jokes aside, airdrops are not really worth. Trust me.

I think it would be good for booth party, cause if the project is success and the price of the coins is high, even though the participant only get small amount of coins, it will still has a good value.

Gone are the days when airdrop used to be worth it.. nowadays only ico's organize airdrops for the sole purpose of promoting their ico's and growing the number of telegram users in the community
