Airdrops? Yes, it is one way that one can earn from crypto, but this time around, it is so difficult to know a legit airdrop that can be profitable because of too many scams in the crypto space. If you are looking at earning good altcoins through airdrops, you may luckily see them, but they are rare.I know I have made some profits from airdrops in the past, but things have changed drastically; it is not as before again.
I have participated in crypto staking as well, but no good profit was realized while I still ended up putting my asset at risk.
I am earning from crypto now through trading and also investing and holding for a long time.
We just have to find the right ones on our way. But I agree that investing and doing short trades are more profitable. Most of the time, those airdrops turning out to be scam are those which only requires task wherein you will help them promote their project but will end up gaining nothing. On my end, I tend to check only on big projects to avoid wasting my time. You can also check on communities outside this forum, to know which projects would be worth engaging.
Yea, by promoting some scam airdrops, you are there by increasing and contributing to the visibility of such project and making it possible for them to succeed in their plot to scam investors. That was actually one of the reasons why I stopped promoting airdrops because it was more of time wasting and also help scammers to promote their shit. I know that out of 100% altcoin projects (both new and existing), a little percentage of them still perform decent airdrops and bounty but the scam projects are now majority in the bounty and airdrops market.
