As the modern heroine & profound intellectual Philomena Cunk noted,
“1 in 20 people has been a victim of crime, which means that 19 out of 20 people are criminals.”
Essentially it’s a giveaway/handout/distribution to people who fulfill some criteria. There was one coin that gave away significant amounts (>1k USD) to early users and since then it has become kinda popular. Because who would turn down something free?!
Except its not free. For starters, you’d usually have to pay significant network fees to claim the airdrop, and second the money has to come from somewhere. It’s the same with government printing money and distributing some to the people, in the end we all pay for it with inflation. So yeah, pretty scammy overall.
To play devil’s advocate, while I have little doubts that these specific ones are scammy, there are many cases where they have been genuinely good value. In general, this is when a product requires an established user base in order to be effective , so they’ll have an airdrop shortly after opening and then another a few months into the product’s life. The aim being that if X number of people try it a bit, hopefully a proportion will continue using it and make the whole product viable.
yeah the original purpose of crypto may have been not that bad but every tool is what people make it to be and at this point crypto is just for stealing poples money
Don’t know for sure, but stuff like this is usually fake promises of free crypto and money. Like a “faucet” site to phish your info and probably scam your wallet or account

If you kill 10 persons in a row you can get a stealth bomber, be a chopper gunner or get an emergency airdrop. Hope that helps.

Crypto has never been a good value. You are just hoping to be on the right side of the pump and dump.
