Exactly a year ago I created this channel to try myself in a completely new direction in crypto - airdrops.
I started getting interested in crypto with the well-known StepN project (early 2022) - the first serious project for the people with Move-to-Earn technology (move to earn money). I bought an NFT of some sneakers for $700 and after a couple of months I broke even. The market went downhill, and I got my first experience, my first bear and my first NFT, which began to cost $15.
During this time, I collected a good stack of telegram channels and sometimes monitored what was going on there. Some arbitrage topics flashed past: Optimism, Blum, Arbitrum gave away something, FTX exchange scam, LUNA fall and UDT unlinking. In short, I didn’t really delve into it.
I came across the topic of retrodrops quite by accident on YouTube, when I finally wanted to understand basic trading and generally learn how the market works - a fairly useful skill. I watched a couple of videos about arbitrage, DeFi tools, futures trading and retrodrops.
Futures trading was an interesting topic (probably everyone starts with this), especially the type called “scalping”. This is micro-sum trading, where the transaction takes place from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. I played for a month, didn’t lose anything and didn’t earn anything, and in the end I realized that it wasn’t for me. Arbitration also immediately threw it into the trash: run around the offices, change yuan for bucks, bucks for ether, ether for bucks and take it to a no-name exchange, where you get a ban, and cards made for someone from the neighboring countries are blocked. In short, by. DeFi is top. I studied landing pages, pools, what smart contracts are. In general, you can make money, but you need to have a good bank and a long distance, fairly conservative instruments.
I immediately liked the retro drops for their narrative. Giving money to active users, using word of mouth instead of pouring millions into useless marketing is genius. The risk-reward here is very good. There were real cases that I saw in my channels for a long time - they were always under my nose (conclusion: collect the right information field).
While everyone was shouting that the topic had become obsolete and that it was necessary to arbitrate in Moscow City, I, charged with motivation, studied this area, put together a small farm, allocated a budget of $300 and created this channel. I started writing a daily report on the work done.
At the beginning, nothing was clear; starting is always difficult, and that’s normal. Most importantly, I enjoyed it, and I was ready to learn the protocols for free along the way.
Is it possible to make money in crypto rather than lose? It turned out that yes! It's all about practice, trial and error. Here the principle of work is in retrospect: you work now in order to receive rewards in the future. The first profit came after 6 months (although I expected 2-3 months, heh). From that time on, my activities began to work for me on a monthly basis. 10 months later - the first big drop of 7 thousand dollars. There is no longer enough time, and I decide to quit my main job.
I have been working in this direction every day for 2 months now. There is no easy money here, this is also daily work for 8-10 hours, and sometimes 16 hours a day. Now in such a rotten market, they give out drops every week, you don’t have time to work off everything.
conclusions
Can you make money on retro/airdrops? Yes, you can.
Is this still relevant? Yes, it is relevant. A better method in marketing has not yet been invented.
How often do projects give out drops? I will tell you that 99% of projects give away drops. The only question is how much, when and whether you deserve it.
Do what you love, don’t be lazy, and the result will definitely not keep you waiting!
