@Cbb0fe Haha, that's right, earning a little money with little capital is better than depositing money and having it all disappear. With reputable airdrops, you just receive them regularly, so you don't have to worry too much.

@Cbb0fe @solunavaxxer get it now?!?

@Cbb0fe It has never been for me. Memecoins were first for me to accumulate capital

@Cbb0fe Who hates on airdrops lol

@Cbb0fe cosmos airdrops were hot af

@Cbb0fe still some so called gurus are calling it farming or money wasting strategy

@Cbb0fe many airdrops were classified as scam, lol

@Cbb0fe What’s airdrop you farming is niche ?

@Cbb0fe People hate on airdrops because they farm only complete trash that airdrops peanuts lol

@Cbb0fe Bro you love airdrops ik did you join @variational_io by any chance??

@Cbb0fe counter people don't hate on airdrops they hate when they don't get enough in the promised airdrop

@Cbb0fe The scam today is the frequent promise of an airdrop. But, completely agree.

@Cbb0fe Yeah unless the whole project gets exploited or they never TGE

@Cbb0fe but times have changed bro

@Cbb0fe Few (oddly)

@Cbb0fe airdrops changed my life tbh last cycle there were so many good ones just from parking capital in places n hoping they didn't get hacked

@Cbb0fe most people just hate that they spent 6 months farming and got zero

@Cbb0fe People hate until they get a bag

ppl only hate airdrops because most of them farmed the wrong projects and got way less than they expected right now, there are 2 perp dexes that i think have the highest chance of delivering meaningful rewards to users - nado (very slept on) kraken’s perp dex. kraken is one of the biggest centralized exchanges btw app.nado.xyz?join=miles - variational. everyone in CT has heard about this one by now omni.variational.io/?ref=OMNIV…

@Cbb0fe bro 100%, they’ve been the best way to make money in crypto the past 6 years period

@Cbb0fe Hard to argue with that, especially compared to chasing random alpha calls.

@Cbb0fe and the ones that do scam you are usually the ones promising guaranteed returns airdrops at least make you work a little for it

@Cbb0fe Airdrops were the one distribution mechanism that paid for usage instead of capital or connections. The problem was never the mechanism — it was protocols airdropping to mercenaries and calling it a community.

@Cbb0fe emphasis on w/0 gettin scammed*

@Cbb0fe they hate until the drop hits and suddenly everyone's a believer

@Cbb0fe airdrop hate ignores that retail rarely gets clean entries elsewhere even with sybil noise, the alternative is usually worse

@Cbb0fe people saying they hate airdrops are usually the ones who sold the token way too early and are still mad about it

@Cbb0fe people hate on airdrops because they're seen as easy money, not real traction. that's still a better outcome than losing your shirt on a pump-and-dump

@Cbb0fe Sadly at least nowadays, that era seems to be ended But there will be some generational thing after depression +capitulation(nobody do anything)

@Cbb0fe Wen more airdrops Cb it’s like their illegal in the big 26

@Cbb0fe Airdrops should be reinstated, otherwise nobody will care about those products. Community is everything.

@Cbb0fe Real its just that now most airdrops are garbage & scam in itself

@Cbb0fe Don’t think anyone’s hating on airdrops, they’re just not gonna be like what they once were

@Cbb0fe 😜

@Cbb0fe a lot of predatory tactics surrounding them as well e.g. fee farming the users and teasing/edging. but generally overall you are right, i can literally confirm 😂

@Cbb0fe miss this times phantom wallet when ?(

@Cbb0fe life changing tbh uni to friendtech to HL expecting a fat fomo soon one of the most +ev things you can do tbh

@Cbb0fe now, it’s the projects extracting from retails with airdrop

@Cbb0fe Exactly, I don't know why they're hating fr

@Cbb0fe And teams accumulated too… by giving their side wallets

the farms that I know you and I were both in - blur - friendtech - hyperliquid all of them required pretty significant capital risk. unless you were writing code to provide liquidity on blur like you were HL yes, I got a huge airdrop from them. but I bought way more than I got airdropped from $5-15, and made more money because of conviction in the protocol, with arguably less downside than trading perps on the platform blur if you didn't know what you were doing, like in season 2 or whatever, was super rough and friend tech I risked nearly $1m to just barely make it back

@Cbb0fe super agree. best marketing strategy with no upfront money

@Cbb0fe Exactly, people that hate airdrops are scammers or that like to be scammed

@Cbb0fe @digiii airdrops arc > NFTs > everything else discuss

@Cbb0fe Yes they were, until we built an even better option. Reward people with commissions on conversions in stablecoins. Now they still post etc. to help grow the brand, but aren't rewarded in a token which the brand really doesn't want them to sell. Perfectly sustainable.

@Cbb0fe It’s a necessary part of this space honestly

@Cbb0fe airdrops in 2021 changed a lot of lifes, so there is no hate for airdrops, there is hate for extracting liqudity via airdrops in 2026

@Cbb0fe I like you kept “completely”

@Cbb0fe yup

@Cbb0fe Airdrops changed my life. Variational airdrop will forever retire me. Grateful for this space.
