Chance of earning money?
“Yes, there is a high possibility they will get money from it. Early adopters are those who have been in crypto for a long time and have involved themselves in the buying and selling of coins. Late adopters are those who joined based on social proof. A lot of people invited their friends to join Notcoin, but they said it was rubbish. At the end of the day, they saw that Notcoin paid their friends 200 dollars, some 300 dollars. Others almost 1000 dollars.
some people might be showing that they have 10 million points or 15 million points. But that does not mean when the project launches, they will have 10 million units of that token, which will be called Tap.
“They will do a conversion rate. By the time they want to launch, they can decide that the conversion rate will be 1000 points to one tap. Or 2000 points for one tap. They will decide on the conversion rate before they launch, and that is what they will use to allocate the token to people that participated.” Ajiboye said.
Ajiboye explained that after mining stops on the 30th, it may take them weeks to launch.
“They will have to go through verification steps. Maybe they plan to cancel out people who have multiple accounts or those who use autoclicks. They will also work on their launching date and where they will launch”
“People only tell you of airdrops that work. There are a lot that didn’t work. It might also work, they might also give rewards and the reward will not be much and you might just feel like I spent all my energy and I didn’t get anything.
“When there was less interest in crypto, you could have high hopes. You are not competing with a lot of people. So the reward will be big.
“Now that we have plenty of people to reward, how much is going to be shared among these people? Compared to the airdrops from late last year and earlier this year, when there was less interest and people got up to 2000 dollars,” Ofoegbu said.
‘Not from trees’
Ofoegbu clarified that the money for airdrops didn’t just come from thin air.
“This is the cheapest way of acquiring users. The airdrop money doesn’t come from trees. They take these users, and they show Venture Capitals and say, ‘I want to launch a new blockchain, a new project, I have been able to acquire millions of users’.
“And these VCs back them up and give them money. They then take a portion of this money and give it to the people who participated. The money wasn’t manufactured from thin air. They use this money to reward those who helped them get new users,” Ofoegbu stated
