I am opening this question, because a lot of new people in crypto do not get this concept clearly. Please reply below with further details and explanations.
My short answer:
- To get an airdrop you will need a wallet
- The wallet should be on the blockchain the coin or token is issued on
- Some coins have their own blockchain, be very careful with these, some can contain viruses, so double check the reputation before downloading anything from them.
- Most token are created on the Ethereum blockchain, thus you need an Ethereum wallet to be able to receive these tokens.
- To create an Ethereum wallet check : there are several ways, easiest is through Metamask and MyetherWallet
