I received my first airdrop from Deeponion before and after it hit $14 I dumped it right away since I knew that it would just crash and a lot of holders too. Right now, the community is still active and sadly it was delisted from known exchanges like Kucoin and has no trading volume.
That's why if you have joined an airdrop then make sure to sell it right away and don't just hold it for a long time, you will never know when the price will go down and never to rise up again.
I agree with you. Better to have something than having nothing at all. Sometimes it's worth it, of course, but it's a big risk to do so.
