You should have taken part in DEEP onion during 2017 and 2018, for a free airdrop token it quickly rose over $1 in value and went on to record an ATH of around $17. If you had sold at the right time you made quite a profit so there are some good opportunities around even with free coins.
The onion was awesome. But it is not free if you have to work for it.
And this is exactly what I told people the difference was with airdrops like Onion. You had to do slightly different work (well okay same as others more postings and shillings haha,,, but it was very well managed and it was not so easy to scam). The same with mrai, you had to solve captchas, but it was manual work so in the end everything that became a good coin started out with bounties with actual work.
