So the Dogs airdrop was yesterday and once again it has successfully onboarded new users to Web 3.0 or at least to crypto. We have had a whole lot of new people who are excited with the amount they got and it’s free money, they are pumped for the next thing, the next airdrop the next task. Unfortunately they don’t know that crypto space is wide and saturated with a lot of bad actors. Let me explain better, after notcoin success we started seeing a lot of fake projects and promising to be like notcoin, because the telegram crypto space is saturated with a lot of newbies, they fell for it. Meanwhile these new bad projects are just farming these new crypto users for engagements. Like following their social media platforms, liking, reposting and commenting on their posts and most importantly watching their YouTube videos.

Some went as far as demanding for 1 TON to get an upgrade or premium, so they can mine more points, sad. Lots of newbies didn’t mind doing it because they have earned money from notcoin before right? Well, sadly, they have been scammed the crypto way. The next thing for most of them to do is either explore other parts of crypto or quit and call crypto a scam, the choice is theirs. I guess airdrops are great and doing the significant thing by creating more exposure for crypto. More people will probably lead to more exposure.
