Airdrop is given to those who need and want to join if to attract investors seems less attractive.
It was only for a moment and as if for charity.

So do you think the Airdrops in the matter of investments are actually useless?

Have you ever gone to a supermarket where there's a hotdog stall that offers free taste. That's also the same with these airdrops, they are attracting people all in all by giving such tokens for free.
That makes these airdrop people announce and tell others that they've found a good token which results them to advertise that project.

Yes I do understand the tasting part and was thinking exactly the same until I started reading BitcoinTalk where non of investors mentioned Airdrops being at least one of their Altcoin discovery channels.

I know that for some ranking sites, there should be established community to get a good ranking, which mostly is acquired via Airdrops. But then it is the same as buying fake accounts to have just a number to get better ranking. I want to see if I am missing something?

In my opinion, no, investors were never interested in airdrops. Often the airdrop altcoin is detrimental to the altcoin itself, the price usually drops dramatically after entering the market. Investors are only interested in the quality and potential of the altcoin. If it's promising, then that's an altcoin project that is favored by many investors.

You are right, but an airdrop is moslty a popular way to promote a blockchain project. On this way hopes the project teams to bring the project to a bigger public and after that to reach their hard cap.

Most of the people who want to make some free money will join in the Airdrops but Airdrops will not impress the Investors because this coin doesn't give any value to them. Airdrops will not attract the investors but they will join to find more details about the company.

Airdop do not attract investors but it make investors hear about the project, airdrop is a smart and cheap (almost free) marketing campaign, airdrop make the community of project become big, spread out the words about the project so potential investors will know about the project. Have a strong and big community is one important investment criteria for investor to make investment decision, airdrop help project to do that.

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?

Its not that nobody but it will always depend of the ICO products that airdrop will become effective like their commodities should be feasible to the masses so that they could attract more people to invest. Mostly airdrop is more on referral activities in which the more you invited to join the ICO and the more people attracted to invest because the project is good then airdrop activity will be a success.

Yes, it creates a crowd in the community, but is it effective? Hunters exchange information among themselves in order to obtain several coins, to which investors (especially large ones) will not pay attention. I think airdrops have become ineffective.

the purpose of airdrop in my opinion is as a means of promotion in introducing the coin to the community so they can know him and who knows they will also be able to invest in it

No investor pays attention to a couple of tokens from airdrops. The main purpose of airdrops is to advertise the project and attract more investors.

Since every project needs money to develop, there are very few projects massively give away in airdrops (HYDRO is a rare example). However, their tokens prices are usually involved in sudden pump and dump game.

There are some reasons why more tokens and ICO are doing airdrops because in that way they can easily attract more people join there campaign and can spread a word about there campaign. They do this so that more and more people can try and help them hold there tokens and find a huge community.

No. The airdop will mostly attract the speculator. The real investor will only know about the news and make judgement by themselives.

I don't think investors will not bother about the Airdrops because they will share little worth of coin which will not help them anymore. Airdrops specially designed only for getting people to join in their social media channels and telegram in order to give updates about the project.

That just depends on how is build the whole marketing campaign. If it's done in the right way then airdrop will be helping for attracting investors. Otherwise it will definitely have no affect.

of course airdrop will help them in introducing projects they have to investors and this will help ico's success but this also depends on the product and potential of the coin

No, airdrop attracts more participants to spam much more. Most of the accounts on twitter are all fake and all participants are just connected with each other and adding everyone of them so they are basically spamming each other for the ICO project.

I don't think so. Most people would hate it even more.
Because airdrops mean lots of free tokens, investors in ICO are unhappy.
