Airdrops and giveaways in the crypto world are the gift that keeps on giving. They never end. That’s why I will repeat to mention that it’s possible to accumulate thousands of dollars in crypto without actually putting in your own money. It’s not that hard as long as you put in the time to look around and develop the skills to sniff out real projects from scam projects that will just waste your time. This is definitely not financial advice; it’s just meant to enrich your knowledge as you do your own research.
Some free crypto never hurt nobody, that’s why we all love it. But have you ever wondered why and how some people are able to get so many freebies in crypto? Well, wonder no more. In this article, I will share with you some tips that have worked personally for me and for people I know closely. I want to share these experiences about how to make the most of airdrops and giveaways in cryptoverse.
As far as airdrops and giveaways are concerned, the crypto world is full of them. Personally, I have received countless coins/tokens, gift cards, hardware wallets, hampers, merch, swag, you name it. If I could value them, they would certainly be worth a couple of thousand dollars. I achieved this by doing the things listed below.
1. Participate in competitions
There are so many competitions being held every day. Prizes can range from a few dollars to a few thousands of dollars. Judging from some of the competitions that I have personally engaged in, I would say that the judging is fairly unbiased, transparent, and fair. Anyone who participates stands a fair chance of winning. The competitions are not that hard to participate in so do not hesitate to participate in these competitions whenever you come across a running competition.

2. Don’t be afraid to try new apps and new platforms
New projects are usually more than eager to distribute freebies in their early phase as a marketing strategy. Therefore, they would give free things to early adopters (that is, people who start using their app, website, or platform when it is just launched). However, I must give this tip with a word of caution. Malicious apps and websites are so many out there. There are some bad people working really hard to steal your data, passwords and distribute malware/viruses. Therefore, be cautious about installing apps or logging into websites that you do not trust. Be careful of scammers and malware. It would probably be safe to have a separate email address to use for things you’re not sure of, take time to research by reading some reviews and watch YouTube videos about new apps/websites.
Whatever you do, just remember that passwords and private keys should never be shared with anyone. Therefore, if any person or website asks for your passwords, seed phrase or private keys, just know that it’s a scam. Run away and don’t look back! Do not use the same email/password combination to log in on multiple websites/apps.
3. Update yourself with the latest information.
Getting ahead of everyone else in crypto requires you to be armed with latest information. To achieve this, you will need to stay up-to-date by following verified social media platforms of legit projects (Telegram, Twitter, Reddit, Community forums, etc). Also stay informed by following reputable publications such as Decrypt, Cointelligence, Cointelegraph, to name but a few (there are plenty others). There you will find information about new projects and ongoing giveaways/airdrops.

4. Use referral links of authors you can trust
As you do your own research, you are going to come across creators of content (articles, videos, podcasts, etc). You are going to discover that some of these creators take their work seriously and they endeavor to do a lot of research before publishing something. therefore, it is worth looking into the projects they recommend by joining using their referral links (remember that most referrals give rewards to both the referrer and the referee). I must not hesitate to mention that you must still do your own research. Do not let your favorite author replace your need to do your own research.
Final words
Yes, there are so many genuine freebies in crypto. However, scammers and hackers usually lure their victims in the name of free offers due to the attractiveness of free things. Therefore, remember to take precautions.
