Never really been a fan of airdrops and anything that ask for referall especially investments is a scam in my book.
Bitcoin small small using DCA strategy and you don't have to wait till have source of income before you can invest,
I will advice having a source of income because that's where most times you can cough out or have a discretionary income.
And to your topic, Bitcoin isn't just preferable it's the best option when it comes to other currency whether digital or traditional.
