i have joined a lot of air drops and still i dont know am i wasting my time or not! i saw a lot of scams and most of them after ending airdrop time ask for amount of eth or btc or they delay for payment!!! i wonder if there is any good resource as site or channel for reliable air drops or not?
There are lots of airdrops that really are trashed nowadays due to the popularity of cryptocurrencies scammers took this as an advantage to scam others, they do offer some trashed altcoins as reward for every task completed/ referral made by the participants they do make the quantity high but the quality are low, they attract people with numbers without value and some are requiring for taxes or fees to complete the transaction. Please think twice before spending money just for Airdrops, because Airdrops are meant to be free.
UPDATE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
so many of you call airdrops scam and i think its wrong .
Yes, not all airdrops are scam there are still airdrops which are legit.
1)airdrop have 0 risk witch most of them have
0 risk is pretty impossible because every information specially your personal information that you've been give/fill up on their form may used on illegal way.
2)i know many of them are wasting time but not all of them
There are still legit and profitable airdrops so its not totally a waste of time
3)airdrop is not also free money in my opinion because 99% of them have referral system witch makes lets say even 1% to other people know that airdrop and that company
i join to many air drops for me was 70% 30% to get my tokens.
and from that 30% part i can sell 70% of them
i also looking for more good air drops and resource to decrease that 70% part.
Airdrops are meant to be free, I do remember participate on plenty of airdrops at the year 2017 that time Airdrops are absolutely free all you need to do is to fill up the form and wait, I never experience such referral system that time
also for people that dont have enough money to invest in crypto air drops are the best option i think.
Yes on short time maybe,
UPDATE2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
this week i join alot of airdrops . they were all telegram bots . and most(like 99% of them) of them ask for transaction fee as eth at the end of airdrop.
let me tell you what i think and who is going to win this game!!!!
those amount of eth is no money for anyone . but if i send that eth to that address thats 1 person.and now IF the airdrop wasnt scam i will get my tokens.and can i sell those tokens for good money???!?! no one knows !!!they will add token in exchanges and make a BIG GOOD NEWS about it in telegram channel!
now there is 2 possibilitys .1)u can sell them with moving them to exchange (also pay fee). 2)u must wait until the right time
about part 2.you just spend eth to get that air drop token witch means u lost small of your asset(eth).now think that it is not just you, there are more than 1000 people spending eth .WHATS HAPPEND?alot of people lost eth to 1 person(company).low amount+low amount+...=ALL FOR COMPANY!!!!
These are the methods used to gain profit they exchange their trashed altcoins for Eth participants may not feel the loss but if there are plenty of participant, its a huge profit for such low valued tokens/altcoins.
