That's right, with the older airdrops that have been profitable, they're more worth it. But with PI, many have called it as a scam and even I, I don't think that it will ever be launched. Well, they've proved me wrong and they're launched and I think that's already enough. Many are still holding it and there are folks that still have locked PIs that they're waiting for it and hopefully for those locked ones, there is still value in it. I think those that have held for so long and was able to receive hefty amount of PIs, they're the real winners of it.
This is something that can happen to any of the "coins" that offer airdrops and freebies of any kind. We know that some might not even launch or let you cash out fast, but that's this "game". That's why we all try to find projects that will do what they say that they will do. IMO, being grungy about not getting rich from a free airdrop sounds like overkill, but I do understand some frustration if the time is more than long.
The frustrations are there and that's because of how they're doing. Letting the community believe to their launch for so long. And those that have made it to their mainnet and sold with hefty amount of money are truly deserving airdrop folks. Well, Ben of ByBit - the CEO still believes that this project is a scam. To me, it doesn't matter anymore because it seems that the hype is gone and I hope that if they're intending to scam its community, I hope that the potential victims will be notified beforehand or will get justice if ever they've believed in it and got nothing. Well, that's what airdrop is.
