If you've been working with cryptocurrency in the past few months then you've no doubt heard the word airdrop. So you're probably wondering what this term means and what are the implications it will have on your holdings? as the name implies a cryptocurrency airdrop is when a limited amount of a cryptocurrency is distributed amongst individuals for free. this distribution model helps create early adopters that did not have to pay to become users of the cryptocurrency. For the most part, the criteria to receive airdrop cryptocurrency is the relatively lax camera with most of them just requiring for you to be holding a coin or on a certain blockchain to be eligible.

Currently, the addressing is dominated by coins that are on the ethereum blockchain with rumors that after ios are launched there will be many coins being a draught beer on that platform. For now, if you are a holder of ethereum and you use a wireless such as metamask or mist then you may already have received coins in an airdrop. It's pretty much free money so if you don't trust or believe in the coin you don't have to use it you can just let it sit there in your wallet.

some things to keep in mind when dealing with ear drops is to remember that it is not an icon so you should never have to send the promoter or created any of your cryptocurrency. If they ask for you to send them any type of money or cryptocurrency in exchange to be part of the airdrop then it is definitely a scam and you would do well to avoid it. Aside from that just because it's free money you should still do your research on the cryptocurrency that is being air dropped so you can know whether or not it is an acceptable risk for you to deal with. Also be sure to never share your private keys with anyone this too is a major red flag and if you are being asked for your keys do not share them and report their service to the authorities.

As I said earlier eardrops are free money similar to what you were received in a forking a bit of a coin such as bitcoin or ethereum. if you are interested in finding more ear drops check out coin airdrops for a comprehensive list of upcoming airdrops that you can sign up for.
