Topic: Do Airdrops attract investors? - page 3. (Read 474 times)
I think the developer project will give airdrops when he was get an investment, so many ways for developer project to gets investment with give extra bonus and to all people know thats project using airdrop for promotion
Generally airdrops are for gaining the interest of the people. Simple thing is that more people know about a project, more money they'll bring. Also it increases the trust among the investors. If a very good project only has 2-3k subscribers on twitter, chances are investors won't be pleased with that and won't invest in it. But if same project has 30-40k subscribers/followers, it attracts the money.
That's true and not so true,
it only depend of the % of tokens airdropped.
If I'm an investor, and see that 30% of the tokens will be airdropped, I may invest less in the project, because even if 30% guarantee a good distribution, it's a big pressure on the market. On the other side, if that % is too low, less speculators will join the marketing parade.
It's only an example, their is some other parameters to consider when you invest/or join and airdrop campaign.
after some big icos dropped its value under ico, investors dont enter the icos
everyone in market knows that you can take an ico half more lower price in markets
I think The airdrops almost help bounty hunters to get money and if the airdrops have big amount of coins or tokens (about 10%-20% of total coins or tokens supplied )then those projects won't attract many investors.
It definately does. Airdrops create a community around a project and give you a chance to obtain some tokens without any risk.
If you want to buy airdrop token, you will always buy it from exchange, it means that the token already listed on exchange, and when you think that the project development is not like what you expected, you can always sell your token. That is one thing why airdrop better than exchange, if a project from ICO did not develop well, and they are not listed in any exchange your token will be just an ash, you burn your money.
Airdrop can attract investors by telling them that the community of potential investors is very big. If there is nobody in the telegram channel, the real investors might not come.
As an investor, I care about how solid a project is and whether it has the potential for mass adoption.. During Neo's early stages, I didn't care much about its airdrops or bounties... Same goes for new and upcoming projects I am eyeing such as eloncity, Menlo One, WePower, etc...
I read thread on how to choose an Altcoin and noticed that nobody who is looking into investing has even mentioned an airdrop.
So why do so many ICOs give away their tokens if no real investors really are checking the free token giveaways?
the method attracts people quickly. But in the long run good project is more important than airdrop method. Most crapcoins don’t have original project and have no value at all. I don’t even want to have them. So why do so many ICOs give away their tokens if no real investors really are checking the free token giveaways?

Well, that is a simple market strategy because airdrops kind of create traffic, so to say. By giving away a portion of their tokens in the name of airdrops, they draw the attention of every one to their projects and investors are part of the people. After getting the details about such ICOs they invest, so you can't say airdrops are irrelevant. They are meant to publicise the projects.

Airdrops are also trying to take advantage of two things. Widespread distribution, as wide as possible, to as diverse a population as possible,,, this is so that the second advantage is bigger, which is network effect. Every person who gains the airdrop will probably tell a few more persons, and so on and so forth.
But yes, if airdrop is moving together with investment, then it has to be managed very well, not just percentage of distribution, but manner. If only 1% airdropped but all to scammers or multis, then it is pointless.
I don't think so because now a days some of airdrops are scam and wasting our time and effort unlike before some of airdrops are very legit and paying airdrops
Sometimes airdrop uses only to gather participants to join their social media to add more members in the community. Investors nowadays are very smart that even you have a powerful marketing team but the content of the project is poor they will still not invest on it.
Yes, I think airdrop is just a fraudulent community, to cover the eyes of investors, they see a large community and they trust and invest in them, I rarely participate in airdrop. Maybe they cheated a lot

We know that nothing here is for free. We may think that we get the tokens in the airdrop for free but it is actually a marketing technique used by the project owners or managers to attract investors towards them. People study about the token that what token have they received and what will be there usability and utility, which compel them to buy the tokens and if not personally they suggest others to buy them.
I can really said yes airdrops do attract investors because if it is no attracting investors would not be having the number of airdrops that is coming out every days. I think airdroping coins or tokens is another level of marketing and advertising and we all know the roles this play in the business.
They did but airdrops are also subject to the law of unintended consequences. Sometimes, they might not have the investor pull that was expected from the onset. In the short term, price may dump, and the artificial community created by bounty hunters does not last too long
Can you comment more on unintended consequences? What exactly do you mean?
I believe there is different audiences if you separate Airdrop and Bounty. I know mostly they come together as it is then easier to attract the masses, but I believe a bounty without an airdrop might actually be a better solution. As incentivisation for investment it could be an additional bonus on the invested amount, but not just free tokens to everyone. Thoughts?
It does, it helps to build a community from which investor will eventually emerge
Do you know any statistics on that?
More than 90% of the projects do airdrops just to get more and more people into their telegram groups and Twitter, Facebook followers. The teams think that investors will be impressed if they see that much of a follow for the project.
