Topic: Lunatic gamblers who says Airdrop rewards are free funds. - page 6. (Read 566 times)

The thing about airdroppers is that they don't see the investment part of what they are doing. They thing because they are not investing money in it means no investment since they are only doing task as requested by developers but that is investment also because you involve your idea and also, time that they use in it is investment. Therefore, they should see it as investment and whatever proceed they get in the airdrop should be seen as their profit or even salary for their labour and should be managed and used judiciously. So if they want to use it in gambling, it shouldn't be frivolous but more pragmatic in their bankroll. Even when you get a gifted money and you want to gamble with it, you should maximize it for more gains.


Of course, even if not to buy Bitcoin, they can cash out some and use the money for personal use while investing some in other coins. There are people who cashed out big from Notcoin recently, they only splitted part of the profit and left the rest in Notcoin, that is a good investment. And then if you want to gamble with some of the profit you can do that but not to be careless about it because of the feeling that it was just airdrop money rather than seeing it as profit from labour and investment.

If you received coins from airdrop, the amount may not be more than $5 to $10. That is one of the reasons some gamblers may think of gambling with it. If it is a huge amount of money, they may think of using it for other things. It is true that airdrop coins or money are not free, but that depends on the rules of the airdrop. If there are requirements that people should perform some task before they can have access to it or before they can be given the reward, that means it is not free. But gamblers also gamble with some money from part of their wages or salary. That should not be a problem if the person is not a compulsive gambler.

I guess that's because the airdrop tasks required aren't hard enough for them to see it as a worthy way of earning money.

I know such people exists, not until they get tired from doing a harder job they won't see the likes of airdrops as tasking, to them it is still free money.

Still, this doesn't mean they should risk everything on gambling at once without a responsible strategy, mind you, airdrops don't pay all the time, from my own side of view it is still not that easy to make money from airdrops.

Or am I missing something? Do airdrops pay all the time? The last time I went all in on airdrops only 2 out of 20 pays as promised, they mostly don't care, you do all those tasks and you get nothing in the end.

Now think about wasting all the money from a airdrop that paid after so many airdrops failed to pay? It makes no sense.

I don't believe that anything is free, if you are getting something for free you should check yourself and your environment, you could probably be in danger to yourself or a threat to others.

I believe that there is no difference in where the money was earned from. And it is very clear to say that "if the money was earned easily, then it can be lost in the casino without a doubt." This is a very big relaxation for your self-control.
Just then, with such judgments, you can start and lose your deposit from the bitcoin portfolio. And this will be dictated by the fact that the player wants to win back. All these facets are very thin and it is easy for a gambler to cross them.

But it's hard to come back later.

Well, it's their own money; we can't blame them for what they want to do with it because that's their hard-earned funds, but yeah, I do agree with you. I also do airdrop projects, and it is not easy to do tasks with several airdrops, and you will do many airdrop projects because there's no guarantee that an airdrop will be profitable, so it will be a hassle and hard in order to facilitate all projects you are in, and it's a waste to use those hard earned profits just to lose it all in gambling. Even if you say that you didn't invest any money and just did tasks on those projects, I will feel sadness and regret for not using those funds to invest instead. Even now that I'm earning from the airdrops that I'm doing, I'm not using my profit for my gambling habit; instead, I'm investing those in other projects or in other ways of investing.

I don't understand the point of this forum thread.
Are you complaining about airdrops or you are complaining about your gambler friends spending airdropped coins on gambling?
Bitcoin back in 2009-2010 would also probably been viewed as some sort of "free money". You never know which airdrop project would become successful and which one would end up being scam/worthless. Most of those crypto projects end up in the trash.
When you get something for free, you just don't cherish it and you are more willing to waste it away. This is pretty normal mentality.

 

What if they are able to win a big amount of money from gambling with this money earned from airdrops? will you still have the same opinion that they wasted the money? I do not think so.

Sometimes we really possess no rights to tell people how to spend money they have earned, you can only give advice, but if not taken by them, do not criticize their choices because you do not know the position they are in before taking such decisions. Surprisingly this your so called friend may already have a very huge portfolio that he has a means of dedicatedly increasing it by DCA, and you have no idea about it but because you saw him gambling with what he earned and then you concluded that his spending money unwisely.

Have you also considered that these guys can also win big money from the gambling that they are using their airdrop money to invest on? Come on gambling can't be associated to losing all the time. I believe those your friends are adults and they know what is good and bad, if so I believe that they will be fine, sometimes the problem we have in life is that we expect people to behave or think like us, and when we don't see that happening we become judgmental.  We should just allow people make their own choices and live with the resulting consequences, be it good or bad. I have seen someone win big amount of money in gambling on football, when the game bet was won, almost everybody around blamed the guy for not sharing the game with them at the initial stage, but this was someone that almost every body was despising because he always gamble. For me since they are adults let them have it their own way.

It is free money. I am not going to judge them. They can spend it how they want. They worked for it. And because it is free money, they are reckless with it. I think that gambling addiction plus free money is a deadly combo. Soon they will realize when the free money stops coming in that they could done other things with the free money than squander it all on gambling. And this is where the regrets kicks in.  

I wouldn't expect anything else. Money given on a platter of gold will not be factored in any budget especially for this group of people who already love to gamble.

If you can, get the same free money and then show them by example how you are utilizing the money. That would make them realize that they have other options.

isn't that an act of foolishness? How do you call airdrop money free money and you think it's worth squandering it away because you've not exerted any physical energy to getting it? I guess those people that makes this kind of statement don't know what's called mental stress and the value of Time that's put into a particular task. So you mean that for all the time, data and energy you put into mining you don't still consider it an effort but it's just free money because you don't even know the value of what you're doing for right?

Those kind of mindset is an error of the highest order and that the person decides to you the money for gambling isn't a justification to supported his act of carelessness at all. As much as it's a win for gambling owners when thee is a loss on the side of the gamber, it's never an indication that they have encourage irresponsible gambling. regardless of the source of the money you used in gambling, it's best to plan your gambling in a manner that limits your loss potential and ensure that you're gambling with a budget you've preset and not a supplus that can help solve a real life problem.


while this options you've outlined here is a good thing to possibly put your money into, understand that everyone has his one choice and preference and if they decide to gamble with a section of the Gaines they made from thier airdrops, you've got no reason to judge them that much since you don't know the reason for thier decision. It's possible that they have other sources of income that is going into Bitcoin investments and is still enough to Carter for there other expenses and so it's only wise for them to gamble with what's now a spair money for them. Come to think of it, have you thought of what you will say if they finally gamble with the money and win at the end of the day? Would you still judge them for making such decision?

but even if the money comes from an airdrop, isn't it money that comes from rewards given for the tasks they have done? so i don't think that it is 'free money' as they say. it's just that their treatment of the money is too trivial, perhaps because they think that the money is very easy to get so they gamble it without consideration.

even though it is their right to use the money to gamble, it is money, and they should use it wisely so that it won't all be spent on gambling alone.

There is no free money any where, those who say it free money when you earn the money through airdrop or gambling its not free money because you must have to pay for them indirectly,  take for example in airdrop,  even though you don't invest in those projects with your money, you will still invest your time, that is before you get those airdrop rewards that  is refered free money by many, you have to invest your time into doing the work before getting the rewards and no airdrop will ever reward anyone who didn't put in any efforts in doing the job.

Lastly no money is overly dedicated to be wasted regardless of how you earn them, gambling is for fun and no one should use money that is ment to solve important issues or that should be invested to gamble, because money is as good as the person who handles it if you have the right frame of mind one should be able to positively utilise any money regardless of the source of the money.

There is absolutely no Source of income that is free but some of my Bitcoin investors friends who are as much gamblers would not want to agree to that.
Currently, there had been several airdrops projects ongoing which participants are earning crypto coins without investing of money but executing some tasks.

So some of my friends says such funds are free money so they are delighted dedicating it to be spent on gambling and when they lost it all, it would be easier to let go because they did not stress to get the money.
Meanwhile... This usually comes a huge amount of money beyond their normal gambling budgets.

To me, they can utilize these so called free money by adding it up to their Bitcoin portfolio or even used it to spend on necessary things instead of dedicating to lavish it on gambling.
