#空投与积分活动 Seeing the BEAT airdrop this round, the $30 profit has indeed attracted a lot of attention. But the story behind this number is worth deeper reflection.
We've seen too many waves of airdrops in 2017. Back then, project teams distributed tokens as if it was free money, and users participated wildly. But what was the result? Most tokens plummeted after listing, and some even became worthless. Looking back now, that wasn't a benefit, but a trap.
This time, BEAT's situation is a bit different. With a market cap of $525 million and a token price of $3.3, it seems relatively stable. But the key question is: what is such an airdrop really filtering? Early participants, ecosystem contributors, or just platform users? If it's just a low-threshold participation, then the $30 value might just be superficial.
I'm more concerned about cyclical patterns. Whenever the bull market approaches its late stage, these low-threshold airdrops tend to appear frequently. It's not out of project teams' conscience, but to leverage hype and user engagement to maintain popularity. History tells us that this is often a signal of a certain phase.
Truly valuable airdrops are always those that require users to participate persistently and engage deeply. A one-time claim, regardless of the amount, should be approached with caution. Claim it if you can, but don't expect it to be a secret to wealth. And don't relax your scrutiny of the project's fundamentals just because of this $30.
