How does an airdropped coin get's its value?

[iram3130]

The coin will get its value based on peoples perception of the value or future of the coin, or just from being actively traded.

As well as how it is used by it's owners and supporters. There are many ways of airdropping and most of the coins go wasted but some are traded and used by different sites because of it's unique features.

If it will be developed, other people willing to buy it and so it can be exchanged among people.

distributing supply of x coin will mean more people to shill it

Mined coins also don't have value, but they are worth something and many of them go mewn.

Just another way of making the distribution

Anyone remember Auroracoin? That might teach you something about the "value" of airdrops

Tell us that story!

Well AuroraCoin was distributed for free to all citizen of Iceland...then dropped in value like a stone because nobody used it - and those who did, tried to sell it

It depends on the developers and managers who know how to make the coin greater and better with many uses. And then, after being convinced, investors will buy more of these coin and make it more value. Look at byteball. They are really awesome because right now, 1gbyte is equal to 0.3 bitcoin. They do not need crowdsale or something like that to make their coin valuable

Every coin gets its value from confidence in the system, whatever that the coin got an ICO, is minable or is airdropped.

So in fact, it's the same system than others coin : an active dev team and a good communication, with a good project that progress often will do everything

I am just curious, how an airdropped coin actually gets it's value.

What I have noticed is usually airdropped coins have a high supply and this kind of distribution is meant to grow speculation which naturally grows into demand and rise in value

ICO's in contrast are pbacked by ETH or BTC, but an airdropped coin - out of the sky - doesn't have any value at first.

Price of some coins is determined by how it performs during its ICO stage but  without an active community to show for its worth nothing. Airdropped coin get their value rather slowly as the grow with time don't expect a high value on the onset of the project

So how would an airdrop then work in that case? How does it have to be structured that it's a win win situation for both parties involved.

Basically airdrops are structured to stimulate speculation and grow its community and project, which is a win win situation at the end of the day

The coin get its value because of the marketing or the way that the team works on their coin and their promised projects because if there is an action towards the promises then it will attract investors in the market that can possible give value to that coin.

I guess it depends on the developers and managers who know how to make the coin more bigger and better with many uses. And then, once believed, investors will buy more of these coins and create more value. See byteball. They are really awesome because now, 1gbyte equals 0.3 bitcoin. They do not require a crowdsale or something like that to make their valuable coins so they must be trying to make the coins could penetrate into high-value market. more and more users will be getting higher value
