Lately, I have noticed in most crypto groups I'm in, many crypto enthusiasts are increasingly participating in airdrops and crypto events organized by exchanges or project developers to earn USDT or tokens. Is it because these "people" are afraid to trade or they do not believe they can make money from trading? Don't get me wrong, I understand that this can also generate passive income, but what I'm curious about is whether these activities truly yield significant profits or not.
I think that the reason why many people are afraid of trading today is the bad experiences they had in the past and the bad experiences they heard from the people around them because many people especially in the cryptocurrency markets, traded unconsciously during the bull period. The fact that they engage in this market during the bull period and trade unconsciously, their dreams of becoming a millionaire in a very short time don't come true and the people around them lose a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets cause individuals to be afraid of trading. Especially in periods when the market is very active, there are many individuals who lose money by using high leverage and have bad memories in trading which triggers these individuals' fear of trading today. Naturally, considering today's conditions many people don't want to trade and lose their current savings in trading.
To summarize briefly, it wouldn't be wrong to say that many people today don't want to risk their savings and are afraid to trade due to the bad experiences they had in the past and the people around them losing money by trading unconsciously. Of course, when this is the case, many people prefer to pursue airdrops and similar campaigns to earn money without using capital.
