You have a point here @OP, but what I also feel is that knowledge can never take the place of money, and money can never take the place of knowledge in whatever we do, whether it be crypto or any other thing. Now, I have noticed that some of the people around me that participates in airdrops are not really into it because they seek to understand what crypto is all about. They are just into it for the money sake, which means they literally don't see other opportunities outside the airdrops they are doing. And why is that?, It's simply because they are not knowledgeable about the crypto space and are not into this research thing. These two things alone can differentiate two individuals(maybe you @OP and someone who just taps)
Yeah . There was this post I came across on X , the post was something like , "Airdrop won't make you a millionaire just like that , but the money can only be a stepping stone to success only if you have the knowledge " . Especially we Nigerians if you take notice most time Nigerians are always topping in most project , (because of our economy tho ), like doing hamster listing i some people list of what they whre planning to do with the hamster money, some where like i will make like $5k from it and i will spend it like this and like that. I just shake my head because done are those days Airdrop pays such amount, now the number of people farming airdrop are now more than then because of Notcoin. Airdrops is good do especially when you farming a nice and legit one , but always go after knowledge still .
Your points are valid. I do think that most person have gain awareness about bitcoins through the airdrop but this awareness is not enough to make them a potential investors on the long run as many of them only seek for daily bread through airdrop not because they care about investing. The economic situation in the country has forced many person to see airdrop as an escape root to escaping debt and living below standard.
For every one that was brought in through airdrop , who is still wondering about what the space is all about should seek for knowledge in a proper way because a lot of people seek incomplete knowledge by glancing through pages they should have properly read through .
Secondly , newbie should not believe that they are missing out until they rush to invest. Getting the right knowledge before investing help safeguard your asset and protect you against scam
Yeah that's through knowledge do help when it comes to bitcoin investment, because having good knowledge would help you make good plans towards yah investment and same time also help you to keep your funds safe .
