Topic: Lunatic gamblers who says Airdrop rewards are free funds. - page 2. (Read 553 times)

Usually before someone gets a reward from airdrops, they need to complete several tasks and these tasks can be easy or difficult, so using the money for gambling doesn't matter, after all the money comes from rewards they have done, so it doesn't matter when it's used on gambling since it's not their main income. But if it were me personally, I would not only use the money for gambling, but also for investing in Bitcoin (if sufficient), because that is money too, right, it would be too much of a loss to just use it for gambling.

I agree with you, either ways we work for the money, before we are paid. Nothing is free. You know, I don't seem to understand how people think that Airdrop is free means of making money. You are paid for tasks, time, effort which they couldn't carryout themselves which at times doesn't amount to anything except few, many are often runned off the knowledge of the interested individuals.

No doubt, everyone have there own perception and how they decide to live there life. Wether it's free or not I can't dictate for anyone how they should spend or manage there money, so for me OP is only having headache on some else decision and it wrong.

As far as I know the real airdrops are those that matchup with how much you already have on a wallet and usually happen as a result of a fork unlike those that requires one to do several tasks before getting paid, and worse off ask for KYC at the end of it..those for me are a no go as they really make you work for the so called free coins AKA airdrops!!!

As of the gamblers that believe Airdrops are free funds, let's just say just because it's not fiat or physical money it brain washes many of us thinking in these lines of it being free money..but whatever they narrative free money doesn't exist, one way or another it will be paid for!!

Their parents bear the electricity and internet package costs, that's why they say it's free.

As for wasting time, pretty sure they're still young, so they still didn't aware if time is more important than money itself. When they turns mature, have a job and taking more responsibility, they will learn how important time is.

Few weeks ago, there was an airdrop name"Notcoin" some people said they participate it without need to invest anything and only tap-tap their screen, IIRC they earn around $200.

The requirements for some airdrops seem unreasonable to me because you need to have thousands of dollars in trading activity in order to earn points. Sometimes they are also time consuming like requiring you to reach certain achievements in a play to earn game. For airdrop farmers that have a lot of capital and free time, I’m sure they are making some big bucks.

For myself, I’m not willing to put so much effort into chasing airdrops. I only participate in one project's Zealy campaigns and do only the easiest tasks, which is enough to earn a few tokens every month.

I agree with you. Money you get from airdrops and forks is free money. I even used to refer to signature campaign money as free because they came with no effort, but that requires at least a small dose of it. Airdrops and forks on the other hand don't, just as casino bonuses, especially the ones for new players. I literally got free money a few times in the form of free rolls, free casino balance with wager requirement (but no deposit requirement) and free money, like when BTC forked into BCH and we all got it for free.

Despite of those dust amounts but still surprisingly there were people who are really that spending up their time and effort on trying out to grind or even tending to abuse it with multiple accounts and trying to make it fold for how many times until they do able to hit up those withdrawal threshold on which we do know that it is really that close to impossible with this kind target but actually if you are really that extremely lucky then you could really be able to possibly be able to hit that threshold but of course only a few could be able to achieve that. Airdrop amounts are really just that too small on which you wont really be bothering yourself or having those kind of heistance on spending it on gambling because it not something that would really be significant amount that you could really be making yourself that regret on the time that you do lose it.

Airdrops arent really that free funds on which we do know that airdrops nowadays does require that tasks on which i dont consider for it to be free on the sense that you would be exerting effort plus
making use of other resources like electricity on using up your PC or even trying to make some spending in terms of gas or any possible transactions on which we know that it would really be
still spending up money which it isnt free at all. Also, just like been said by most members on here that airdrop nowadays does really ahve that tons of tasks on which its not really that
worth on making yourself that wasting up your airdrop amount even if its small because it isnt worth it.

Most people are unaware that when they turn on the computer, they are wasting electricity, when they spend hours at the computer completing tasks on the internet, they are paying for the internet they use, they are wasting their time. When these people complete these tasks and get paid, they have no idea that it wasn't free money, they worked hard, they spent electricity and internet and time completing the tasks, it's important that people use their brain and think, they weren't offered money, they were paid for the effort they made when completing the tasks

in the real world when a company places an advertisement saying: "we need people to complete task X and we will pay Z amounts" and then states the requirements that people have in terms of education. When it appears people who meet those requirements are hired, perform the tasks and complete the tasks, and are paid. those people weren't given free money, no one talks about that task as being free money, I'm shocked and I can't understand why the same thing that is done in the real world, on the internet is seen as free money, I don't understand what free money would be like. if the person had to work to be able to receive the money?

Well, I remember when faucets were also a task demanding little work and effort in order to be claimed, besides rewards being small. It was possible to make less than 1 dollar daily by spending few hours. Some people had that kind of mindset and end using the faucets' income at casinos in order to increase their earnings, just to make it more worthful. And in case they didn't have positive results, they wouldn't bother at all, since it was just few cents of dollar.

However, those cents of dollar worth right now some dozens of dollar currency. If they had just saved it into a safe wallet, the returns would have been much more consistent and guaranteed by now. Maybe the same is valid for the current workers doing airdrops' tasks in some years from now, although they should immediately convert their earnings to BTC thinking on long term goals. For a young person I think this is the best advice, because the tendency is that he will have time in the future to use the profit he will make from the investments made on the present time.

The rule is, gamble with amounts you can afford to lose. Your friends can afford to lose money they get from airdrops and it doesn't really matter whether it is free money or not. I think we should pay attention to the fact that they are gambling with what they are willing to lose without any form of emotional attachment and not what you think they should do with their money. After all, you won't be getting some returns from their investments if they agree to invest the money as you recommended. They are playing safe and that is all that matters. This is their decision and should be respected.

It's up to them. Did you try to suggest that? Or did you just stay silent because you cannot stop them too?

Well, it's true that it could've been better if those free coins were used for investing again in a reputable coin like Bitcoin but maybe they think they can double their money and that's when they will try to invest it in something else.
Gambling is an area where choices are made and I believe their choice is to grow the amount of coins that they have to more. This is a case-to-case basis, you have your own opinion on what to do with the free coins while they also have their own choice on what to do with it. They chose to gamble, and you didn't, will you really try to stop them, or will just let them be?

Most of us think that is how it works. With little work/effort, with also small rewards.
Joining airdrops just serves as a part-time job for others, so they don't bother to complain about it. But for those who think about earning huge from airdrops will only disappointed in the point that it won't give such expected rewards.

The question arises if it is worthy or not. While more reviewers say it is not worth spending their time and is useless, some also find it good and join. It means that not all see things the same way the same as how airdrops look like.

They're technically right in my opinion, sure they did put some time and effort but you have to understand that they didn't really put out any money so they can get more money back, that's just how it is and it's not really for you to decide whether that's the thing that you should do with the "free money", it's not yours anyway and if you're concerned about their gambling habits, you're probably too focused on the wrong things.

Yes, most airdrops nowadays are like that, in which you need to exert some efforts first. Not like in the past that you will only need to fill in your wallet address in the text field and wait for your free coins to get delivered. Many airdrops now are even paid or not free.

If this is the one that those gamblers did, then they shouldn't say that the airdropped coins that they get are a kind of free fund. After all, it was still their money as you said, so it is up to them if they will use this for investing on another coin or they will use it as a capital to play gambling in a casino. Don't say that you can't suggest for them because what you said earlier, seems to be a kind of suggestion already.

Gamblers like that are not crazy gamblers but on the contrary in my opinion because they can take advantage of existing opportunities by making money that will be used as gambling capital. It is true what you say that they should be able to add the proceeds from the airdrop to their Bitcoin portofolio but everyone has their own way to enjoy it what he has earned, and once again because it is free money then it should not be a problem and there is no need to worry about it because the free money is certainly not for his main needs and he can definitely afford to lose, and a gambler like that should gamble with the money he can afford to lose so that it doesn't affect his finances at all, although there is a wiser way to use the free money by doing what you said.

Your perspective on the nature of income aligns with a common understanding which is,there's typically no income without some form of investment,whether it's time,effort,or resources.It's intriguing how some individuals like your Bitcoin investor friends,perceive certain earnings such as those from airdrops,as "free money" due to the absence of direct financial investment.

While it's understandable that they may feel less attached to funds acquired without monetary input it's crucial to recognize that their decision to allocate these earnings to gambling carries significant risks especially if it exceeds their usual gambling budgets. Encouraging them to consider alternative uses for these funds,such as bolstering their Bitcoin portfolios or addressing essential needs,reflects a prudent approach that prioritizes long-term financial stability over short-term gratification.

They,your friends can cultivate financial discipline if they rethink about such thing as "free money" which does not exist,let's make the oldest example here,free as in free speech and not as in free beer.

Things like that still seem to exist for some, especially casino projects. However, most projects require investment before they can get free crypto coins. Even if there is, they still have to wait a while to be able to sell the crypto coins they get.

Some people think it's not worth doing, especially if a new site offers it. But those who feel confident will probably keep looking for it and might invest in it straight away. They don't need to spend money on their capital if they can get their free coins and use them to gamble.

They can gamble using free crypto coins. However, they should be able to think long-term because if the free crypto coins are well received and start to show good performance, there is a chance for the coins to increase. There is no guarantee that they can win from gambling, but they can sell their crypto coins if they can still hold them for a while.

Assuming this story is true, I don’t really see a problem with what your friends are doing. They earned this money themselves and can do whatever they want. Airdrop farming can be tedious if you want to earn anything meaningful but many people put in the effort so they can have some extra money to spend on luxuries.

As long as they have a primary source of income that isn’t airdrops, and are responsible in managing it, they have earned a right to have some fun and gamble with their extra funds. There might be better ways of spending that money, but it’s still their right to choose.

I mean, I wouldn't consider it "free" since they're doing stuff for it, but I'd consider it possible beer money since it's outside of that regular salary you'd expect monthly from a 8-5 job. I felt the same when I first started with NFTs and got some big bucks with Axie lol. It was temporary yes, but having a sudden influx of money that you usually don't have can make you quite dizzy to the point you have no idea where to spend it since you don't usually handle it.

I reckon give them some time? They'd probably realize what to do after a couple of months of squandering their money.

Airdrops are one of the trends after the era of the NFT and play-to-earn games, people tend to work on a specific task and get rewarded and continuously do this once the token is distributed and open into the market, yes its right that they don't make an investment in terms of money but of course they invested their time, again there's no assurance that those airdrops is worth the price so still there's a risk they might lose their time and effort doing to a no value token still there's a risk on it. If they hit a jackpot of course its a worth it of money so i didnt see this as a free money because you are getting paid base on the task you've done.
