It is always good you store your airdrops on a different device to avoid your wallet being hacked, just like the mistake you did, thanks we're smart enough to have noticed that something has gone wrong. The security of our wallets are very important and so full care and concentrations must be put to place for our wallet safety, if not we end up losing all we have worked for within a short time frame, and that is why you stay out of links, apps and websites that are not that important to you.

Airdrops are mostly useless and you should never try airdrops if the risk is losing your bitcoin by hacks. If you can not have a device used only for airdrops, don't join airdrops.

Airdrops are not going to compromise your Bitcoin wallet, that is just wrong. Very rarely are they done with a wallet that is for Bitcoin, and anyway you should not have Bitcoin on your computer so that is wrong to begin with. You are wrong about airdrops, there were airdrops in the

I think that Sonia_123 was referring to alts because, as you said, airdrops in a Bitcoin wallet are extremely rare, unlike what happens with Ethereum, for example, or other alts' blockchains.

On the other hand, I'm afraid that most airdrops are useless nowadays. I miss the good old days when you could apply to several airdrops and you were sure that at least one of them would give you a pleasant surprise. These days, on the contrary, the surprise you can get is losing the coins you already had in the account you reused to received the airdrops.

The user wrote "if the risk is losing your bitcoin by hacks". Legit airdrops do not pose such a risk. The problem is mostly people who click on fake airdrops, but even then it is mostly wallet draining stuff. It is harder to create malware that will defeat antivirus than it is to create a wallet drainer which can be done in minutes. Because of that this is not that relevant for Bitcoin, but there are some airdrops that are trying to make Bitcoin L2 or something like that. That could be risky if you use an extension wallet for Bitcoin but you should not do that.

I agree that most airdrops in this year have been disappointing, but I think that is related to most projects being awful. They are just founders that are trying to get rich, most projects should never have been made.
