Those so-called giveaways happen all the time, not just during the holidays.
How strongly I detest the word, "Freebies" because I believe in the actual sense there's no free lunch anywhere on the globe. Something has to give, as they say. The principle should be for people not to be beggarly in their approach to things. When we look out for others to hand us freebies, it makes us lose our self worth. That's the way I see it anyway. I see a great deal of that often on social media
Btw don't feel bad cashing out (a little) just to treat yourself or family.
By the way, talking about "cashing out", let me quickly mention a token I saw recently called "Christmas Shiba (XShib)". What the heck is that? A token in that format will always be what it's. People are already skeptical with Shiba Inu and then another comes with a name bearing the moment. I think XShib will end up a shit token and those in charge will cash out big time.
This is an act used mostly by celebrities on social media to promote Ponzi Scheme like projects. This giveaways made people believe in freebies and easily scammers tame them through it.
This new Christmas Shiba will definitely get naive and gullible people in crypto currency. They will start with is airdrop on Telegram and then promise its unlock date and possible ask for some gas fee to swap it. Its same thing alround not just the holiday periods and every time there's is always victims.
