How much money is in a good airdrop?

A great example of a strong project with a valuable airdrop is IoTeX. The team offered many different ways to earn some free IOTEX tokens such as a refer-a-friend scheme for their telegram community. With that you were able to earn around $10 in free IoTeX.

If you multiply that with the project’s current market price this is around $70 and could easily turn into $300 once their mainnet is live. If you live in Thailand that’s already a free month of living right there.

But IoTeX was not a one of a kind opportunity. A recently announced airdrop comes from DFINITY. The team announced a token giveaway of up to 2500CHF worth of tokens to you! All you had to do for that is be on their mailing list early enough — long before anyone talked about any airdrop. Imagine the project doing well on exchanges — which it might very likely do — and those 2500CHF could turn into 15.000CHF quickly. Now we’re already talking about a few months of living in most parts of the world!

The same goes for Ontology. This airdrop was worth around 2 months of living for free in Thailand — or around $600 — certainly enough to make a small effort to join the airdrop. However the initial value has now turned into a stash worth around $9.000!
