In the past two days, I have seen some organizations express their opinions on airdrops, such as dune's reflection on the airdrop plan, and various anti-witch organizations have emerged one after another (Gitcoin hackathon even set up a special witch hunting theme event). Let me share my opinion;
1. The airdrops received by users have costs
Whether it is interacting with high gas in a bull market, or completing various PUA tasks in a bear market, most airdrops are not that easy to get. Since there is a cost, it is understandable to sell the airdrops to recover the cost after getting them.
2. Project Party’s Acquiescence
The crypto world is still in its early stages. Many projects have neither popularity nor the ability to survive on their own. Interactions are just data needed by many projects to complete financing. This game is not just about the money-grabbing crowd.
To put it another way, the airdrop is nothing more than the marketing expense that the project party must spend in the early stage to promote the project, but it is converted into the share that needs to be redeemed at the moment of TGE.
Airdrops are not pitiful charity from the project party to users.
3. Reinventing the Wheel
Many projects are not innovative, similar to the great innovation of Uni in CEX. Even many Dex projects just fork Uni's code and change the chain. Most of them cannot survive a bull-bear cycle. Institutional project owners have been insider trading and accusing users who received airdrops of being too paper-handed, which seems to be missing the point. Which user does not want to get Apple's early chips? However, even a strong company like Apple experienced difficult times in its early days. A truly strong project will not be defeated by the less than 5% chips of airdrops.
I still believe that the future is bright#Writtenon the second day of Across
