If ICO has already been announced, and then airdrop is suddenly announced, it will be perceived as a decrease in the value of the project, and not as a spread to attract attention. So it's hardly necessary to do this.
I agree with you. Airdrop is not a good idea while ICO is near. Airdrop should be used for the marketing purpose but not when ICO is yet to start.
I also think airdrop would not be good for such kind of project and with this time schedule. This project needs real investors.
Nah they don't need an airdrop, if you want free tokens you can join their bounty campaign and you'll help to spread the word, way more useful then an aidrop
