• 👋 Today I would like us to talk about a dilemma that has certainly come up for many of us: What to do with those tokens that Binance gives us in Learn & Earn, Launchpads, or those exciting red envelopes? Should we hold them, or exchange them for BNB? Let's analyze the pros and cons and I will give you my perspective as an active Binance user! 🚀1. Origin of gift tokens: Binance Opportunities!Binance is generous and we like that. Gift tokens can come from various sources: Learn & Earn: For learning about new projects. I always pay attention to it, it's a great way to get to know new cryptocurrencies and get something for free! 📚💰 Launchpads/Launchpools: Sometimes, by participating or staking BNB, we receive new tokens. Airdrops and promotions: Occasionally, Binance surprises us with free token distributions. Famous red envelopes!: A classic Binance for sharing cryptocurrencies on social media, at events, or simply among friends. The excitement of opening one is unique! 🧧✨2. Dilemma: HODL the gift or convert to BNB?This is where strategy comes into play. There are two main paths:3. Option A: HODL the gift token (Keep it!)Advantages 👍: Potential appreciation: That "unknown" token today could be tomorrow's next big project. If you believe in its long-term potential, HODLing is a bet on the future. I have had very pleasant surprises when I held tokens from Launchpools that then exploded! 🚀📈 Diversification (mini-scale): Allows you to have small exposure to new cryptocurrencies without investing your own capital. Participation in new ecosystems: If you hold the token, you may be eligible for future airdrops or benefits within that specific ecosystem. The thrill of discovery: It's fun to see how those "free" tokens perform!Disadvantages 👎: Risk of depreciation: Most new tokens are highly volatile, and many of them do not survive. They can lose all their value. I've seen many gift tokens fall to zero! 📉 Lack of liquidity: Some gift tokens may have low liquidity, making it difficult to sell them when you want. Trading fees: If you decide to sell them over time, you'll pay fees. Portfolio management: Accumulating many small tokens can make your portfolio harder to track and manage.My personal recommendation is:"If the token is from a project that I find interesting, with good fundamentals or has Binance support, I will give it a chance and hold it for a while. Especially if it's a token from a Launchpad. But if the token is very unknown or from a project with little information, I will evaluate it critically and won’t hesitate to sell it. Don't let the bond to the 'gift' cost you money!" 🧠🎁4. Option B: Exchange for BNB (¡Champion strategy!)Advantages 👍: Immediate and lasting utility: BNB is not just a cryptocurrency; it is the backbone of the Binance ecosystem. Reduced fees: ¡My biggest PRO! Paying trading fees with BNB gives you a discount. ¡That's pure gold for active traders! 💎 constant savings. Access to Launchpad/Launchpool: Holding BNB gives you access to new projects and potential airdrops. It's a constant source of passive income if you participate! 🚀 Staking and yield: BNB has several staking and earning options that generate income. Higher stability (relative): While volatile, BNB is more stable than most small and new tokens. Simplicity in management: Consolidating your small holdings into BNB simplifies your portfolio. Secured liquidity: BNB has huge liquidity, allowing you to easily sell or buy.Disadvantages 👎: Lost potential: You may miss out on the parabolic growth of the gift token if you sell it for #bnb . Dependence on the Binance ecosystem: While BNB is strong, its value is tied to Binance's success.My personal recommendation:"For most small gift tokens and new/known projects, my default strategy is to convert them to BNB. It is my 'utility' currency in Binance! Discounts on fees add up, and Launchpools give me new opportunities. If you receive tokens in small amounts (e.g., $0.50 in $DOGE from a red envelope), it makes the most sense to exchange them for BNB (or for a stablecoin if BNB is too high). Every cent counts!" 🔄💰5. Special mention: Red envelopes 🧧Red envelopes are fantastic! They are a fun way to interact and gift cryptocurrencies. Advantages: Excitement in receiving and giving! 🎉 Supports cryptocurrency adoption. They may contain small amounts of various tokens. Disadvantages: They usually contain small amounts that sometimes do not justify holding long-term. Tokens can be very diverse and sometimes unknown.My personal recommendation (¡with red envelopes!):"When I open a red envelope, the first thing I look at is what token it is and how much. If it is a very small amount or a token that doesn’t convince me, I’ll convert it directly to BNB (or to a stablecoin like USDT/$FDUSD). It's a way to gradually increase my BNB stack or my liquid reserves. Don't underestimate them; those small amounts add up!" 🤏➡️📈Conclusion: Be strategic with your gifts!There is no single answer, but my experience tells me: Evaluate the token: Does it have good fundamentals? Is there a good team behind it? Consider the amount: Is it a significant amount, or is it just "pennies"? * Think about your strategy: Are you looking for long-term growth potential or utility and cost reduction?For most gift tokens that do not come from high-profile projects or that I am not familiar with, the option to convert them to BNB is my favorite. It allows me to save on fees, participate in Launchpools, and strengthen my position in the Binance ecosystem. It's the smartest move for an active trader!I hope this helps you make a decision!
