✍️ PA Original | Conversation with a Airdrop Expert: From Getting Rich Quickly to Being a Runner-Up, What Other Gold Mining Opportunities Do Ordinary Players Have?

Airdrops are not dead, but the era of "earning money by blindly claiming" has ended.

After interviewing several veteran players, PANews found that this shortcut once considered the easiest way to make money in the crypto space is now rapidly entering a new stage with high barriers and low certainty: anti-witch upgrades, rampant wash trading, declining project quality, and more airdrops shifting from rewarding users to screening or even harvesting tools.

Those who can still make money are no longer the "multi-account" spammers, but rather those willing to do research, select quality projects, and control costs. The airdrop track hasn't disappeared; it has just shifted from feverish gold rush to a more brutal survival game.
