I know how bad I feel whenever I remember that I bought over 200 BNB in 2017 at less than a dollar per unit but sold off before price could hit even $4. It's either I would've sold too early or the device for saving my Bitcoin would've been impracticable to retrieve it from there.
Joining anything too early means risky and carelessness.
People did not care about their bitcoins, private keys years ago and lost theirs. You did not realize potentiality of BNB and lost it, sold it at cheap price more accurately.
Binance did BNB airdrop
500 token for each accepted participant.
In 2017 Binance, a then newly-established centralized crypto exchange, decided to give this strategy a try. Binance distributed 500 BNB tokens to anyone who simply signed up for the airdrop.
Here’s the math behind it. The BNB token was worth around $0.10 at that time. So, everyone received around $50 worth of crypto.
$50 is a good airdrop value in 2017 but if any person hold BNB token till 2024, they are rich now.
