Before the airdrop they had around 700 people in the channel, now almost 13k, so it's more than 'some' people who joined because of the airdrop Anyway, if it helps to become more known and popular it's a good thing.
That's the idea, I think. But it's good for the project, more people get to know about it. Airdrops are still very effective in spreading the word.
Airdrop means free easy money and most of the users who will get it tend to sell it as soon as the token hit the exchanger. But it's okay for me. Airdrop hunters dump while the other people will buy and hold it.
Does any of you know how you should treat airdrops from a tax point of view?
