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.
You are absolutely right and I think 60% users prefer free airdrops over trading even if airdrops give small amount but it's free and no risk of losing. I have joined more than 10 airdrops channels where number of members are more than 10k and except 3-4 member all other members just looking to farm free airdrops including ecosystem and exchanges airdrop.
I also prefer free airdrops because I lost more than 3k$ once in trading and after that I gives full attention to free airdrops and fortunately I made a very good profit from these events. Trading is fast way to earn but you need a very good amount so in case of losing you have a chance to recover.
I think it's because it's free and there's no risk that makes people choose to participate in airdrops, rather than trading. Most people who are still learning have to master complex knowledge, so that if they make a mistake they can lose until their capital runs out. but it is not uncommon for people to seek capital from airdrops to trade so that their psychological burden in trading is lighter
