moon or dust, just do this airdrop, you have nothing to loss, it is just an airdrop. These are all what we hear when there is a prospective airdrop in the market.
Alot of money have been made from crypto airdrops and a lot has also been lost because of it. You are wondering how someone will lost money just by collecting something that is suppose to be free money....? Well, let me take you to a trip to wonderland let's find out.
Bob hears of two prospective airdrops, he does them both, one of them requires he just drop his wallet address, which the other requires him to connect his wallet and sign a transaction, he rushes and does the both trying to stay positioned for the airdrop on time without reading the smartcontracts agreements.
What did Bob just do.....well, you can say all you want but that is not positioning for the airdrop, he positioned himself to be REKTed.
So in the end, what you think will cost you nothing may cause you everything in your wallet.
Airdrops are a reward to participate of a particular activities, to people providing liquidity for a trading pair, for new coin launches to gain popularity of all the things airdrop is, it isn't free money, it is money that was laboured for but you didn't feel it was laboured for.
There are qualifying criteria to every airdrops and some of the malicious airdrops are now used to sweep people's account.
Sometimes, one of the possible way to know a malicious airdrops is that they give you an end value of the airdrop when launched that is too good to be true.
Why will you believe you will get $1000 in airdrops just because you signed a smartcontract with an unknown chain, is the dev your daddy...? Or is he Santa Claus?
Everyone is chasing liquidity, because that is how the project will grow, if you think someone will just pack all the little liquidity he has and give to you you have to rethink now.
