Over the past year, I have been absorbed by the blockchain and became a crypto enthusiast of note within my circles. Just like most, I started learning about bitcoin and as most people were focused on the get rich quick path, I was more focused on the technology. I studied the white paper numerous times, testing the mathematics, trying to find holes to exploit but sadly NOTHING.
The second thing I did was kick myself in the ass because back in 2011-2013 I was more focused on forex and if I had invested in bitcoin at that time , let's just say I'd be on retirement as you read this post perhaps in Dubai since it seems popular these days or the Virgin Islands - after all who would want to be stuck here in SA ?
Anyway before I get carried away let me get back to the subject matter "airdrops". Before I give you the fancy definition think of it as participating to be an early adopter of a product and receiving a reward. I actually learned about airdrops from a platform called Earn.com , which a good friend and a business associate @mlnyawose shared with me.
** Let's get on with it
What is an Earn.com Airdrop?
An Airdrop is an efficient way for the founders of new blockchain projects to bootstrap their burgeoning communities by giving away free tokens. During an Airdrop, verified Earn.com users who have opted-in to receiving messages about new blockchain projects get the opportunity to claim a new digital asset and transfer it to their wallets.
Blockchain entrepreneurs benefit from Airdrops because they can now simply pay to acquire huge numbers of cryptocurrency early adopters, including many influential angels, VCs, CEOs, and blockchain personalities. And Earn.com users benefit because they get early access to some of the most interesting tokens without paying anything at all.
How do I participate in Airdrops as a user?
First, sign up for a free Earn.com account and get verified. Then download the Earn.com mobile apps on iOS or Android, log in, and enable push notifications to receive new Airdrop alerts. Finally, get a token-compatible Ethereum wallet such as MyEtherWallet to receive your Airdrop tokens. Make sure you get a wallet that supports ECR20 tokens
Subscribe to upcoming Airdrops
Subscribing to the Airdrops list ensures you’ll be eligible for upcoming Earn.com Airdrops.
In conclusion I think it is worth noting that I have earned just over $20 worth of bitcoins (this excludes the airdrop tokens) within the first 3 weeks and I have introduced earn.com to my beautiful girlfriend who I think has made just under $12 (because she is partly not an enthusiast like me)
