Airdrops & Bounties
Authored by: @hetty-rowan
Time flies
Hello again! A week is over in no time, time flies, and before we realize it we are old. Lol, no kidding. I didn't realize it was Sunday again, so time to write my blog for LBI again. This week has been a week with many new plans on this side… and that has made me spend a little less time trading. Unfortunately I also woke up this morning with the crypto in my wallet all in red… and that was not so handy because when I went to sleep it was all nice green. So that means I didn't see this coming, and therefor I have not sold at the peak, so trading is not possible today. I First need to see it all in the green again.
Oops
In addition, I made a wrong decision yesterday… which cost me over $50. Well, an oops moment, and a slip is part of learning! It makes at least very sure that I shouldn't do it like that again.
But beyond that, I feel good
Because I have not been busy with trading myself this week, in fact even little with crypto in general, it was a bit difficult to think what I would write about. Enough ideas in my head, maybe too many. But to say that those 'LBI are suitable', hmmm not that much. Exciting times will soon be here… and my mind is a bit overflowing with that. And that makes me feel a bit in the clouds. Well, that aside.
Are you in for some goodies?
Today we are going to talk about something completely different… because we are here in crypto. We want to make crypto and money. And those possibilities are there. By the way, have any of you ever swap the 1inch Dex? If so, did you do that before December 24, 2020? Then go and have a look because there is a good chance that you can claim a nice airdrop!
That is something what I want to talk about today.
Airdrops and Bounties!
Nice things in crypto, and yes… we are all waiting for the airdrops that we know will come. I'm not going to talk about that any more today. But besides these well-known airdrops, there are many more to be found. As long as you know where to look for them of course. Fortunately, we don't have to put in that much effort ... there are of course several websites that list that for us. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want that? Free crypto, free money. I immediately admit that I haven't looked at it nearly enough myself, but that has already made me miss a few things. So from now on it will be on my 'to-do-list' to check at least once every week IF new airdrops have been announced, and IF I can participate and how interesting they are. Because some of them are very nice… just think back to the Uniswap airdrop, and now the 1inch airdrop. But there are also airdrops that are not worth it at all.
The site I'm keeping an eye on for that is AIRDROPS
You could also check out AIRDROPALERT
If you don't look, you sure miss it
Incidentally, for both sites, I do not know who keeps track of this, nor whether they are very actively supplemented. That remains to be seen. But in this case a bit applies, if you don't look, you can be sure that you miss it.
If you look around these sites you will also see that airdropalert makes a difference between “Airdrops” and “Bounties”. For both, it applies that they give you crypto. But there is an essential difference.
Airdrops are really gifts
Strictly speaking, an Airdop is something you simply get without having to do anything for it. It comes out of the blue, as it were, a gift because you are holding a token, or have done something on the dex / exchange that is doing the airdrop. Nice to receive, right?
For a Bounty you have to do something
A Bounty is a slightly different story. To receive these you often have to fulfill some small tasks. Think of following their twitter account, joining their telegram group, filling out a form, completing a small quiz… it can be anything but you have to 'work' to receive the donation.
Also things like "Trade up to $ 1000" or "Make a deposit of $ 1000", things like that you often see on exchanges, I saw one from Kucoin passing by today. These are often described as airdrops, but in fact they belong among the Bounties.
Bounties can have higher rewards
It is true that you can often earn more with a Bounty, so if you have the opportunity and the relevant Bounty appeals to you, if the reward is good ... it is certainly worthwhile to pay more attention to this and participate to do.
Next week I hope to have an addition in my 'Trading Adventure'
Next week I hope to be back with a new part in my 'Trading adventure', and tomorrow I will be back with a new look at a crypto that I found somewhere in the jungle of Coinmarketcap.
Have a nice day for now… and hope to see you again tomorrow.

I missed all the drops from last year and this year on uniswap and 1inch. Need to watch more for details. Luckily we've got here some real nice peeps that show us when some opportunities are coming. Thanks for both links, I need to set a reminder on my daily/weekly schedule to check them on a regular basis.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here ... I missed all those drops too. To think that we could have had those ones so easy, that made me decide to put this on my 'to-do' list. I don't want to miss out on another huge opportunity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is true, I have a notebook where I put daily tasks in, but I think I must go digital and have a template open when I start the computer with different sites that I need to check and by closing each, I did fill up my task, that would be an awesome solution to have.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup that's something I need to set up too. I get much too easy distracted by other things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I love airdrops of course who doesn't love it, its probably the reward for consistency and holding a token. Imagine the people who got the UNI airdrop, money freely gotten buy not really easy.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not only the UNI, the 1inch was also a very big drop to receive. Unfortunately I wasn't amongst the lucky ones. But for that reason I decided I have to check much more often for those drops to find them, at least ... be AWARE of them. And when I'm aware, I can at least think if it's possible for me to get it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I missed both UNI and Inch I didn't know the prerequisite to get the 1inch I guess its about using the exchange as usual. Keep checking, you might be lucky.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have not been that fortunate with airdops as I have missed the genuine ones. After filling lots of forms in the past year it felt really disappointing as most of time usually ends up worthless.
Uniswap and 1inch has been an eye opener that some airdrops still pay. I'll have to consider it again and narrow my search this time not to miss the legit one. Thanks for sharing those sites
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Same here, but yes, there still are airdrops that DO pay. And for that reason ... it's a good thing to be aware of. You still have the chance to decide if it's worth the trouble or not. But if you always hear it afterwards, well that's just no fun.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for sharing the link to check on the airdrops, hopefully I get lucky now by checking daily.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You're welcome, I need some luck myself with that, and thought ... hmmm, I'm sure there are more people who need that luck. So let's share that this possibility to find the drops, and hope we all get very lucky with this.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You never know ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for the links !
Just to complement, the 1INCH airdrop you described is the first one and one I’ve been lucky enough to get for using their platform in October.
Recently a second 1INCH airdrop has been announced and is made eligible for people who are frequently using Uniswap.
Yes it’s a direct hit to the competitor haha.
Please check all you wallets ;)
How did you lose those 50 ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh really ... I didn't even know about the second 1inch airdrop. But that only proves that I'm not lucky enough to have received that one. Lol.
Yeah those 50 I lost with a stupid decision, buying a token what I thought would increase further in value, but instead of that it turned out that I bought at the peak, and it dropped hard, very hard. To make it even more stupid, I could have known it when I had looked at the volume BEFORE buying in. And not buy it just before I went to sleep ...
If I had the time to wait until it goes back up it would not be that bad, but chances that I have to cash out this week. So not the smartest move ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah okok. Still a paper loss so far then !
Let’s hope it catches up before you have to cash out ;)

there was a time i was a hunter for airdrops and bounties but then i left because they were all empty programs and i'm still there in a wallet that i rarely check.
I prefer airdrops, the serious ones we have here on HIVE. We look forward to one soon 😜
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup there are drops coming soon, but I wouldn't call the UNI or 1inch airdrops not serious. I would be very happy if I had received those ones ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Totally missed them all as Airdrops seemed to be turning into scams left and right. They are also a serious pain to keep up with lol If anyone knows of a good legitimate site or place that track good quality air drops I'd be very intrested.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol ... if I knew them, I would let you know immediately. If you find one, please make sure you let me know, ok?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That doesn't help much, I agree. Probably one of the reasons why I missed out on any airdrops ( outside of Hive ) so far.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I find I don't have the time like everyone else does and stick my head in here and here only. I agree it is worth having a look and maybe I will get to it one of these days.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Time, ah ... yes, something I seem to struggle with sometimes too. I don't have the time either to hang around 24 hours a day. But I do have my plans to check this on a regular basis to see if there's something worth it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We'll have at least 3 airdrops on this blockchain as well, 2 on leo ( governance token and project blank token) and 1 on hive ( the 3speak tokens ). Curious if there are any that I don't now about ( on hive or leo of course ) :)
Yup those drops are coming. I don't know of any other upcoming drops here on LEO or HIVE ... If you hear more let me know please.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
sure will :)
I have never been lucky enough to receive any airdrop 😑 However, in Hive ecosystem, you do not need to be "lucky" to receive the upcoming airdrops ^^
Hive is always some steps ahead 😌😌
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let's just say that you are lucky enough to be in HIVE and that makes you lucky enough to receive at least the upcoming drops here. Congrats on being eligible for those upcoming drops!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for the links to both sites. I will check on them periodically to see if there are any free stuff I can claim.
That's great. If it matches all my requirements after doing research, I don't mind HODLing some in my wallet.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We'll have to wait and see ... I will do my research, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I own the tokens I describe. Some of them I do own, others I just look at because of curiosity. Always do your own research. But I know you do!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
i on the other hand missed every single airdrop :P
also do we know if this site you mentioned has only the "good airdrops" and by that i mean only the legit ones and not the scams. Or it contains everything?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Shake hands, I missed every single airdrop too ... LOL
No I don't know about that, but I assume that this are legit drops on those sites. That doesn't mean that I will double-check it for myself before getting involved in one. And I would recommend everyone to do so ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a fair point? :<)

Hi @hetty-rowan
I am kind of happy that the 'airdrops' have stopped days ago ( here in Portugal ). I felt under the weather ( too many rainy days in a row ). Now the sun is shining bright again and I really can't complain. This write up makes me feel like a bounty though. I haven't had the combination of chocolate and coconut in a while. Now I think of it. I think I've got some dark chocolate left as well as grated coconut. Thanks for the inspiration ;<)
Knuffel uit Portugal!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm glad to hear that this little write-up was an inspiration to you for a 'summer breeze', and I really wish for the spring to kick in and make the winter leave!
I really feel that I'm done with this winter temperatures too, and I can't wait to feel the warmth of the sun.
Geniet ervan daar in Portugal, en een knuffel terug uit het koude witte Nederland
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Your wish is my command!
Spring incoming in a couple of days ;<)
Geniet ervan!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great! Can I now wish for a big airdrop too? Something like 500 euro... 😳
Eigen risico tijd helaas... Ja geloof maar dat ik ga genieten van warmere temperaturen.
Thanks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for those links, I'll check that out. Do you happen to know the date of the snapshot for the LEO airdrop?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for your comment. No, I'm not a LEO team member, so all you know about those drops, is the same as what I know. Exciting right?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
it is exciting =)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you for the information. Airdrops are always welcome;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yup ... that's what I thought too. And sure when it is a really nice airdrop like the UNI or 1inch ones :D

I've yet to really get any airdrops worth mention. I will check out your links. Thanks!

Same here ... lol. I keep hoping that one day I will be lucky enough to catch one!

Airdrops are amazing to bring some visibility to the projects.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yes, look at UNI and 1inch. Everyone is talking about this ... Lol. Without joking. Airdrops are a very good way for a project to get visibility, and make people dive into the projects to check it out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll check that Airdrops and Airdropsalert website. Regarding 1inch, I am suppose to swap some tokens after the Uniswap airdrop thinking 1inch will do the same, but I didn't push through.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bounty jobs today are not as good as in 2017. There are too many fake
icos today
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I got on the Uniswap airdrop but not the 1inch. I am looking out to see what the next one may be. I've heard rumors of Metamask, dydx but nothing has come to light yet. Hopefully we all find ourselves on the right side of things this year!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
thanks for this. I have been looking for where to get trustworthy info on airdrops and bounties
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Airdrops can be great like uni but sometimes they take a lot to watch and get. Thanks for sharing these two sites.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Earning from airdrops on Hive has really been fun since the Hive-engine opened. I haven't really earned from drops on other chains and crypto. Here is legit.

Thank you!
