Do Airdrops attract investors?

[GreatArkansas]

For me YES! Specially when that project is really active and have large communities, it will really attract investors. Because once the investor notice that their project is getting popular to every crypto community, it will lure some investors.

I hope it will attract the investors because even though they will allocate very less percentage but these people will get awareness about the project and their progress about the project. Investors will understand how potential the project is going to be and how the project will work in the long term.

I read thread on how to choose an Altcoin and noticed that nobody who is looking into investing has even mentioned an airdrop.
So why do so many ICOs give away their tokens if no real investors really are checking the free token giveaways?

Well, of course, wealthy investors do not perform Airdrops, it works differently. Airdrops helps the project become more popular and this attracts their attention. Some even pay attention to the number of participants in the Telegram group, and this depends primarily on the airdrops.

I think even if the proportion of airdrops is small, it will still attract a large number of investors.
Since I often participate in some airdrops, I will conveniently participate in their ICO crowdfunding or directly purchase tokens.

[mirawantirinjana]

little possibility that airdrops can attract investors, but airdrops are usually done at the end of the campaign, therefore investors are not attracted by airdrops.

There are some very popular Airdrops that lead to successful projects that would have lost among the thousands of available tokens.

A few good examples are Decred a few years ago, DeepOnion last year and PRiVCY or STAKER running right now. You have nothing to lose getting a few tokens for free, and if you're going to gamble there are chances you make big money in the bull market with these too.

Airdrops is one of the part of marketing of such project and they would really tend or allocate some tokens just to spread up or add up the awareness of coins existence and not to be worried that airdropped coins is just on minimal amount in the entire supply of a coin or lets say just really a freebie. It can potentially get some investors but depending if the coins would really be worthy to invest on or not.

Airdrop definetely attract investors but projects needs rather long term investors and those people are usually more interested in the project instead of airdrop. This is why I invest in oax, not because of its airdrop.

Airdrops do giveaway to patronize their project and to attract the investors..but sometimes some of the airdrop don't last till their project ends reason is they don't have a strong investors to make their project succeed..

It actually can, airdrops are just like freebies on shopping malls. Once airdrop participants see that there's a potential on the project, they will surely buy more and hold. Airdrop is one of the best marketing strategy, but it can also lessen the price of an altcoin since most airdrop participants only want instant money.

[BTCGOLD]

There is a big hope for projects  that making them cause in some way this sould attract potential users to enter projects like that.

[Donned]

I think it will attract investors, because whenever I participate in the airdrop, I will always carefully study this project, so when I carefully study this project, if this project has a good prospect, then I will invest.

[Mister1k]

I think this op is completely in confusion. Meaning of investor is they put their fund on ICO projects and then wait for big returns dude. Airdrops are really worst part of money making and the projects giving free tokens via airdrops are mostly does not seems legit or not achieving soft cap as well. Hence those kind of project should not be in our concern while investment. Ignore airdrop and out your effort to make money with the bounty program.

It is because they believe their project so much, for example "HYDROGEN". They give most of their tokens 222,222 for 1 sats, and now look at it.

[Trustor]

Ye ofcourse ! Airdrops are not only a marketing strategy but an informative medium as well where any investor who wants to inquire anything about the ICO can do that. You are given free joining bonus as well when you join an airdrop. The strength of any airdrop campaign always attracts investors. It makes them beleive that a whole lot of people are interested in the project and are ready to invest.

[ajqjjj]

Peoples are always expecting the free money so airdrops are intiate the project. But they give below one dollar in after ICO is completed so many peoples are not satisfied in airdrops participation and some projects are totally scam also so better participate in bounty we will get good earning. But still lot of peoples are participating in airdrops so we only realise the market because no one is give the free money.

[pinoyrichkids]

Airdrops are a way of attracting the community., it is like one person received the tokens and then that person telling the others., and it could gather a large number of crypto enthusiast into a certain project., it is like giving them small portions of tokens that could attract the others. Same with other companies in reality, they are giving free taste., a product free taste could be an effective tool to gather customer feedbacks to the certain product.

[2@abcdeeply]

The airdrop is for investors to trust the community with many participants, but if we can clearly see the community if the scam would no one comment.

Project owners developing this kind of way to help spread news for everybody about their ICO project and it could be possible that some investors will start to study and do research about their project. With that, they can have a reserved investors to be a part of them even it is still hang and not yet launch.

The fact is that I have many times met negative reviews about airdrops and therefore always avoided them. Is there among air activities such projects that can be as promising as others who conduct a bounty company?
