Hi guys!
So this one is for the new users, or the users looking to add a few free coins to their name.
So what is an Air Drop? - An Air Drop is when either the direct group related to the coins (BTC, ETH, LTC, etc.) Decides to give some free crypto currency away. Now while in most cases the amounts are not big by any means, but free is free.
- Air Drops are more commonly used by other communities to create hype for either their coin, or to get a following on social media. So in essence you promote, they give out money for the publicity and advertisement you gave them!
- The other side to the Air Drop is its a great way for you to get coins before their readily availiable to buy. This is a great way for new crypto currency to get some attention and some investors early on.
- Airdrops are also used when a fork occurs in a certain coin. So take it as Coin A splits into Coin B as well. No both coins are still worth money but their dollar amount is now on two different groups. So Coin A could be worth $1,000.00, while Coin B could be worth more or less. So why does this happen? In simple terms, it happens when a currencies code is changed.
How Do I Get an Air Drop?- The first thing you have to do is find a trusted website. The more updated the website, the more you profit!
- The website I use personally that has served me well so far is
www.airdropalert.com. Though a quick Google search will provide you with a wider selection.
- The website should tell you how to participate in the Air Drop. A lot of them will require you to follow them on Social Media ( Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, etc.). Then have you either post to their wall, retweet a post they made, share something, or join a messaging group. Then show proof in the forms the require. IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT THEY ASK AND SHOW PROOF HOW THEY REQUIRE IT YOU WILL NOT GET WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING!
- Make sure when they ask for the required information to give you your well earned reward, you give them the right information! Make sure all information is correct and that you don't accidentally overshare! THEY SHOULD NEVER ASK FOR ANY PASSWORDS, IF THEY DO THEY ARE NOT BEING HONEST AND UPFRONT WITH YOU!
- Sometimes it takes them a bit to give you your reward. They should give you the time estimated for the funds to appear in your account. Make sure you don't harass them for it, their not automated.
