I Got 1 Million $SHIB airdroped in a trading competition! What Should I do?

[X-ray]

if you're not really that interested in shiba inu or meme coin in general, you can always just sell it and try to find opportunities to buy bitcoin when it dips or ethereum.
right now the month of may market sentiment is at worst, people afraid that bitcoin gonna dump although speaking the truth really bitcoin isn't go anywhere but the occasional dips could serve as an opportunity for you
to make some investment which is far better than meme coin which you said that you're not believer of.

relatively low risk and if bullish come its gonna take off like a rocket.
I think most of coins that are top 5 are pretty good, including solana, these coins you can't go wrong with investment in them, but be sure to find great opportunities to invest like when people are so afraid or the market sentiment turning fear.
remember few days ago, had you invested in BTC, you already making profit right now.

Since this is free money that you received and the amount is not very large, it makes more sense to me to hold that Shiba and see if we can see it making a big movement during the bull run.

After all it is not as if you have anything to lose by taking this decision, as currently that amount represents only 25.15 dollars and you got them for free anyway, so this is one of the few instances in which it makes sense to roll the dice and take a risk you may not take otherwise.

There are opportunities that are directly meant for breakthrough, I would kindly advised OP to thoroughly think about this again and again and finally decides on the promoting moves to make. Always take precise measures because the market is filed with unwanted hearings of projects. We can continue napping on our steps and become a very forwarded investor but at the same time, we have in valuable portfolio. Accumulating one million pieces of SHIBA Inu is a great moves and automatically, you're all in for the huge profits.

should be looking for newer altcoins that has micro market cap even better if just recently listed because to be honest 1 million shib equal to $25 even holding bitcoin or anything like that won't translate to good profit for you even if bitcoin double in price you only get $25 as a profit so you better off investing in newer coin instead hoping the volatility could help you make better profit or use future trading.

letting it in $SHIB isn't a good idea either since this meme coin already too high in market cap, you won't get meaningful profit as well, double the price is unlikely.
though if i were you i will be more focused in saving the money instead and getting more and more capital for better investment profit not to waste anytime just for profit thats not life changing.
regardless good for you that you got it for free, usually when i got something for free i will be more on the aggressive side of investment.

Well it does make us think that is alot of money to have 1 Million for any token. But the meme coins is not worth so much money so keep those free coins but do not think you will be rich from it.
Shib is a meme coin that I do hodl in my portfolio. I do not think it will be the next Doge coin but there is alot of investors that does like this token.
Maybe those tokens will make you big profits now with Paypal announcement.  It will integrate Shib token in the US.

I mostly invest in Bitcoin, and sometimes in important altcoins. However, I don't believe in the concept of meme coins and don't pursue them. I'm interested in knowing whether I should continue holding onto my current tokens until the next bull run, or if I should sell them to buy Bitcoin or other altcoins. I would appreciate a piece of good advice from the community.

The surprises of altcoins and meme coins is that $25 worth of those coins can become $2500 or $25, 000 if the token gets pumped. The 1Million $SHIB is currently worth about $24 which is not too much to risk holding. Even if the token turns out a shitcoin in future, you will not be angry at your self because the money is small. There is a possibility that the SHIB can pump when you are no longer holding them again. I was asking my self, 'what if 1 $Shib becomes $0.5 in future? Hold.

A trading competition is happening at a local exchange in my country. The exchange is a trusted and established one and I have zero doubt about the $SHIB tokens I can receive as a reward in my Shiba Inu exchange wallet. I have been using this exchange since 2018 without any major issues, so you can understand the amount of confidence I have in them.

Yes, buying Bitcoin is your best move you can make.
Memecoins can lose value pretty quickly while Bitcoin is much more safe to lose value.
No one knows where Shiba Inu will be in a few years but we can be sure about Bitcoin to be a leading coin even in a few years.

Isn’t that just about $24? It sounded like a lot. Anyway, I think it will be okay if you just hodl it. I thought it was worth more, I’d have suggested that you trade some for other memecoins, if you are a memecoin trader. If not, maybe Bitcoin or other normal Altcoins would be great as well.

The amount of tokens that I have received looks big but the actual value of those tokens in USD is not much. If I go ahead and sell those tokens for Bitcoin I wouldn't be able to withdraw them due to Bitcon exchange transaction fees.

I think it is appropriate for me to forget about those tokens and let them stay in the exchange wallet. If in future this narrative of meme coins continues and gives me a decent profit then I might will go ahead and sell those tokens for Bitcoin.

As of now I think it is better to wait for the next bull run and wait for the right time to get a good profit.

Do you guys think it is good idea?

It sounds good that most of the time you make investment in Bitcoin which is a prudent decision in view of leading its leading role in cryptocurrencies market with it distinguished features. As far Shiba Inu, whether to hold it or sell them in bullish market is ultimately your choice depending on your fincnail circumstances and risk tolerance level,  however if were in your shoes, I would consider converting most of them into Bitcoin.

After I decided to keep those tokens on my local exchange, I discovered that my country's tax law requires me to pay a 30 percent tax on any capital gains and a 1 percent TDS (Tax Deduction at Source). This means that if I sell those coins, I will end up paying more in taxes than I would make from the airdrop. Therefore, I have decided to hold onto my Shiba Inu tokens until they have a USD value that is high enough to cover the taxable amount. In short, I am not going to do anything with these coins until I believe they are profitable for me after taxes.

You've pretty much summed up what you should do now, considering the tax law in your country, because it won't make financial sense to sale at a lose. As it is, it's best to hold on to your Shiba Inu, till it's value reaches what can be meaningful to sale and convert to fiat or reinvest in a reputable crypto like Bitcoin. Although I consider Shiba Inu, as a top altcoin that is worth holding, because it's not a scam project, people are however speculating that it's market cap, could make it not to be very bullish in this season. Your not left with much choice but to keep holding it, good luck.

What you are saying is what I realized after a day. The government will make my life hell even though it is a small amount of money. It is better for me keep it dormant unless those tokens are giving me a good multiplier, to which I am expecting somewhere around 10x or more. Already those tokens are again pumping due to sudden surge in Bitcoin price. I think it is evident for me to keep posting returns from those tokens for everyone here to contemplate whether meme coins can make them rich in some time or not.
