The value does not really matter as long as user get it for absolutely free. Take any airdrops as bonus but do not expect too much that it will worth big amount of money.
Nothing good comes cheap? Generally you are very wrong, look at BTC back when it was launched 10 years ago and compare it with recent price only. No need to compare it with its ATH price. Anything may happen in this crypto world, dont underestimate cheap coin too much.
I will disregard the ZPT or GALA here because I want to take this generally on all cheap coins.
We must enlighten newbies that even they got an aidrop coin for free, let's take them to
"realistic" thing to happen and not just because
"Well it's free, I don't care with the price". If that's the case, you are just encouraging all newbies to just participate in any airdrop coins
"since it's free".
Obviously, BTC is way different to those cheap coins you are pointing too. Developing cheap coins is not a joke especially today. Promoting coins is kind of a struggle today because of the bearish market that dominates that whole 2018. Also consider the Exchange is was listed. There are even cheap coins who got delisted even listed on a popular and biggest exchange like Binance. Sometimes, developers give up on the way especially if the process of getting to top is taking too long.
And look at the successful ICOs that earned millions during ICO, where are those today?
Im not against the feeling of OP as I also experienced the same lots of times already. Maybe he got a decent amount and that's good. It's just that it's way better to enlighten them about the future of this cheap coins rather than to expect.
Again for clarification, Im pointing all altcoins generally and not only with ZPT or GALA.
