Why do people always expect to get a lot of money from a hype project that has hundred thousands participants, or have huge expectation from airdrops or from doing simple tasks. Cant wait for people to understand, that it is impossible to get a lot after doing minimum effort. I am just curious how much people wanted to receive? Spend few minutes a day during several months and get thousands? Why do people call it shit airdrop? Because of the low price? How about holding and not selling immediately?
The gotcha about holding and not selling immediately has historically (e.g. bitcoin itself) been, as non-miners often pointed out to miners, that it turned out a lot cheaper to just go ahead and buy in when the miners (clickers, players) dumped than to waste time, effort and resources actually doing the mining (clicking, playing).
With XRP and the XLM airdrops I did indeed simply hold, I had a policy back then, starting initially with IXC and I0C, that I would not even bother with the hassle of getting my node up to date to check my balance, let alone consider actually selling, until I could get at least $1 per coin for them, as I only had maybe 10k to 20k of them at the time;
XRP I had 105k (airdrop glitched, restarted giving 50k all over again to posters to the thread here then later there was another 5k drop), XLM only 5k (even that soon after XRP airdrop they only gave 5k per poster to the thread), but still, my precedent stuck so I easily held until the late 2017 - early 2018 peak market.
But again, as the non-miners used to eagerly point out, I coulda just bought it for half a cent per coin or less during the intervening years, no need to waste time and effort posting my address to the giveaway thread (which type of thread has since been banned here it seems).
