APTOS FOR BEGINNERS

[shinratensei_]

this was such massive airdrops in the middle of correction, it's surely giving some kind of fresh air to the masses in the middle of correction that's full of value decrease, there are gonna be some few projects in the future that's equally as good as aptos in general but it seems they aren't going to make airdrops since it seems they judged that the airdrops itself gonna hinder their overall increase in value.

[stoat]

The recent airdrop made a lot of people become more interested in the Aptos ecosystem

Not to worry, this thread has all the basic informations you need to know before buying into anything in the Aptos ecosystem

The Founders Avery Ching and Mohammed Sheik were both former employees at Facebook META, they both worked on the LIBRA project when working with META.
when working on LIBRA they helped develop the MOVE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (MPL)

MPL technology can run more than 160000 transactions per second

...Probably soo this project will experience a huge price dump when the private investors take profit and dump tokens to retail investors that didn't knew what risk they take on buying this token.

To make such conclusions, you must first familiarize yourself with the schedule for receiving coins by Aptos investors. And the reality is that early Aptos investors will start receiving their coins only after 1 year. In a year, we should expect pressure on the price, and if there are mass sales, the price will decrease. But it is impossible to predict from what price this decline will begin.

Tokenomics
https://aptosfoundation.org/currents/aptos-tokenomics-overview

According to tokenomics, most of the tokens will go to the community in the first year. I would not hope for repeated airdrops, because the coins are needed for grants for new projects and to encourage various activities in the form of contests and so on.

Good for those people that have participated in their testnet and receive the reward for their airdrop. Well, it's worth a try and for sure many have already dumped this token. We will still see if this is going to be for long but I think so, since they've managed to get listed into big exchanges, I guess that's a good start for them, and those that are holding it would want to hold it a little bit longer and see if the price would double.
Anyway, we can conclude that this is one of those projects that had a successful launching.

From the results of the testnet airdrop, many hunters threw away their tokens in exchange for over $1000 of course who wouldn't be tempted but still they have thrown it away now the APT price is still $8.8 and this is a hype that people do and I can't believe there will be shitcoins in their ecosystem it's popping up now but I wouldn't be tempted by the definite upfront rewards when newbies come in making that investment to worry about they will lose a lot of money there.

The testnet airdrop for aptos i think is not gonna stop here since aptos is layer 1 and this pretty new chain im recently do testnet in one of app in aptos chain called aptin you can check it out in internet now in phase 3 they said it will have reward when the app launch successfully

Not a strange thing is it? because it always happens when a project appears and can get a lot of funds for development, in fact it's just like a fishing rod to wait for the price to up and get big profits and there is no denying this to be a lot of things that happen in the crypto world

I did the Aptos airdrop, I didn't get an email for a claim, no regret though. already bought from binance to hunt some NFTs in their ecosystem even though NFTs are still not matured a market.Chromes browser is not the only browser supporting the Aptos wallet, Brave supports it, I prefer brave because it's a web3 browser. Many believe Aptos is a Solana killer, but I want to learn and stay rich too.

Maybe you didn't follow the steps correctly? Or missed something? That is why you didn't get qualified. And sometimes, airdrops are limited. It can be a first come first serve basis so maybe you are a little late when you do the task but I am glad that you didn't feel bad about it and what you did of buying directly is more surer.

Some features of aptos are great, that is why many think it's better than solana but still, it's too early to judge. We don't know, what if others are right that aptos are only in for the hype? And maybe once the hype goes down, the team are not going to be motivated anymore to improve the project. You better monitor your investment properly.

I did the Aptos airdrop, I didn't get an email for a claim, no regret though. ..

Airdrop was distributed among those who received NFT Zero in the Aptos test network. In addition, it was necessary to fill out a Google form. Those participants who meet these conditions received an airdrop of 150 APT. In addition, those participants who installed the node in the test network also received airdrop.

  - This is what I did not immediately know that APT airdrops here in the forum even on other social media platforms I did not immediately read and know. It seems like the same thing happened with Uniswap before though based on my research. I found out about it too late, as if the airdrops were over.

I'm also a bit regretful anyway, now if I buy it, it seems like he's not that practical to make it an investment from my own opinion and perspective.
Hopefully, Aptos will have airdrops or a bounty campaign again here on the forum.

it looks like our hopes are quite far from what we expected if they want to hold a campaign in this forum, they will not focus on the bitcointalk forum, and they also have their own forum so yeah of course not, usually projects that hold campaigns in the forum are projects that really want to getting more attention while aptos already got it

Seeing some new platforms build in aptos that has been scammed so many people like atodex which has claimed to be the first aptos swap in the aptos blockchain. The hype was big enough and this time it's nothing rather than another BS created by scammer. Aptin was a new thing but it seems like very familiar for me. That reminds me with a scam project from aptos called aptos yield. Almost all of new projects in aptos were scam

That is also true the scammer is pretty smart, the hire a programmer and then deployed on aptos chain in fact in every chain there is scammer especially the one or cheap like aptos or polygon chain

we must do the due diligence first before make first move. anyway there is pretty trust dex on aptos called pancakeswap the platform pretty much popular on bsc

Yes, it's true. It seems that we have to be careful in every decision related to investment. Because after all, if we only look at the benefits of a project without knowing the risks involved, then the efforts we put in will be in vain after all this time raising funds little by little.

[MAAManda]

Thank you for the information you provided @OP, but I think this topic should be a topic that you should regularly update, for example, on exchanges that support $APT trading, currently not only Coinbase, Binance, Huobi and OKX support it but there are many other exchanges too like Bitfinex, Kraken, Gate.io, Bybit, Crypto.com, CoinEx, Bitget, MEXC, Tokocrypto and Upbit (Among the trusted ones).

Or you can simply attach a CMC link regarding exchanges that supports $APT trading in your topic.

[Orange89]

Yes Aptos is over hyped due to its huge Airdrop for their community and Some Good Nft projects like Aptos monkey, APTOMINGOS and other Now i can say that Aptos hyped it's gone
it can be seen in recent Nft Minting of Spookland a good project but it is unable to generate good volume and fp despite good utility
One of more reason with Aptos their founder Are already Skilled person and had worked with Facebook and it gain good amount of Seed funding from the Investor they had some reputed name as their holders and Binance is also supporting it you can buy Aptos is all top exchange and their withdrawal fees is also very less
I Feel Solana is always in my Heart ♥️

I am Having good Minting Experience with Petra Wallet so i will recommend it Hope it help  

[Tony116]

Aptos is a highly rated layer1 project and is being likened to a replacement for Solana in the upcoming bull season. I have also experienced Apt's blockchain and I think it is quite stable and smoother than solana but to invest in it I advise people not to rush to invest, we need to observe more. It's backed by a lot of great funds but that doesn't mean there's no risk, the risk that I want to say here is that its price is still very high right now, so don't buy it from now on. For those who like to invest in altcoins, in my opinion should choose new and potential projects like Apt instead of old altcoins.

The project made very large investments and the distribution of investors' tokens will occur linearly over 10 years.
Many people have already bought these tokens for 4-8 dollars with the hope of future price growth. If you are waiting for 40-50 dollars then any purchase is correct, but will this price be any time soon?

Early buyers (after the launch on the exchange) have suffered quite a loss, it can be seen from the ATH $APT which is at a price of $ 10.25. It is highly likely that the project's token will experience a price increase in the future, but with the current inconsistent market conditions, I doubt that will happen soon.

If we compare the current marketcap of $APT with $MATIC, it will be quite a big jump in price (about x10), you can see it in the image above.

Aptos will be a top pick for the bull season in 2025 but buy to hold, I don't think now is the time to buy. Bitcoin is likely to continue to fall, APT will soon drop to the $1-2 price zone and that is the right time to start buying. The $40-50 target is pretty high but also possible, as when it was first listed on the exchange, I remember its ATH was also $50.
