What is the best thing to do with tokens gotten from airdrops?

[jeraldskie11]

This is a practice for some people who expect security to be able to feel both ... however, this is usually applied by people who are less confident ... yes, usually 50% is sold at the beginning so that he does not miss FOMO, and to anticipate if the price later turns out to be no more expensive than the price when it was first listed ...

While the second 50% is also to anticipate, if there is a price explosion one day, at least the person is not just a spectator ... I know this is a favorite of many people, but this really makes someone a little more afraid to make a firm decision ... Yes, as long as you get the airdrop token, you have the right to do any strategy according to your risk profile.

It is the method that give me the best results

You can do as much research on the project as you like and you still won't know if the price will rise or fall
Generally, it's more likely to fall, so I understand who sells the airdrops at the time of the TGE

Normally, the price will fall in the TGE no matter how good the project is especially if the project have an airdrop and distribute the rewards to participants before the TGE. So the best thing to do is to sell some of your holdings if you think the project is good, even the investors will do the same. If the project was really promising, later on after most of the tokens from hunters sold the price will start to increase. That is the fact in the TGE that I've noticed.

Sell on listing. Default to exit. No fantasy. Airdrops are not startup equity. These are disguised speculative liquidity injections. Your DOGS is textbook: hopium pumped by peers who were just as stupid, emotionally linked to "what ifs" instead of understanding the chart and market depth

You believe you are "missing out" by selling? Flip it: what if the actual loss is holding? The most airdrop tokens are coded decay: no value, inflated FDV, unlocked supply pending, 0% organic demand. There’s no logic in diamond-handing vapor. Does demand have any fundamental proof? What are you holding, actually, if no VCs, no buy pressure, no product, and a chart bleeding? Sell, breathe, then go on

Hold only if you see alpha that is backed up by real movement. Treat airdrops as found money rather than potential riches otherwise. You’re not HODLing, you’re delaying detachment

So in a nutshell, is it advisable that all airdrop tokens should be sold at the time of Listing or there are some that is likely to see a price pump after listing?

I would not advice to do it especially if you're a believer of the project, but based on my experience and my observation about those projects that launched through airdrops, most of the time, the price of their tokens dropped significantly as soon as they got listed on an exchange. Significantly doesn't mean "90% in an instant" although it would be a gradual way of price drop.

Just look at these projects and compare it's initial price to where it is right now:
Manta Network, Berachain, DOGS, Hamster Network, LayerZero, EigenLayer, ZkSync, VeniceAI, Celestia, and many more.

Most of the projects that I shared have lower price currently that it's initial price. The only project that comes to my mind where they launched as an airdrop, but it's price is still higher than it's initial price is Hyperliquid only. I've participated on airdrops as well, and I immediately sell them as soon as it gets listed on an exchange. I don't see the benefit of holding it for a long time knowing that most of those that got that tokens for free will just sell it immediately for profit.

Bro this topic just hit the nerve haha or I should say my past, I will tell you just one thing, if you make free money from these airdrops, just book it all, if you think the project have some hope like not by following others but by doing your own analysis, you must sell 60% and hold the other 40% to test your theory in this way you won't be in total loss.

I have done it so many times now that I don't even feel regret I just feel dumb so dumb that I would blindly ask anyone to sell their profits from airdrops ASAP. The possibility of a project to raise in price is way less than the possibility of them getting appreciation. so keep in mind that after project 99%, projects will lose their value.
