In recent months, I saw a lot of new airdrops, mostly on Telegram platform. A lot of them are harmless "tap to mine" games which can be trusted (in my personal opinion). Some of them were basically giving away tokens based on your accounts age (like Dogs).
I know when these airdrops are around, they make a hype. One of my friends sent me 15 invite links the other day (and honestly, I still haven't clicked on the links) and most of them are basically these mini games. But I also saw some airdrops asking people to pay them little amounts of TON or Tron, in order to put them in a better place in a leaderboard. It seems somehow suspicious. I just want to know what is the measure of a good airdrop? One of my bitcoiner friends once told me "consider every airdrop a scam until they're not". But I strongly believe that there must be some good measures for this issue as well.
What do you think?
Personally, I couldn’t believe that these airdrop might generate some good returns to players until I tried it by myself and with that experience I found out and learned new things as well. Starting from one airdrop that doesn’t require anything but a fun game to play, and setting up your wallet to receive your rewards, that’s basically with zero risk process, and eventually I have actually received a good amount of their tokens and managed to sell them at a good price.
On Telegram platform personally I never encountered a scam project that took investors funds or stole anything from players. However, that doesn’t mean it is totally safe as well to join any airdrop, if your efforts are not paid out, to me this is a scam and the team stole your efforts to gain other investors attention to invest and steal their funds.
The only measure you can take is to not invest any fund if you are not sure about that airdrop, only your performance on that game might bring profit to you.
