You will be able play the game with a minimal amount of LVL. The charter of @psyberx was to always make the game accessible to everyone. The airdrops are for those who are heavily invested in the community. If this is more than you can afford rn, you're still encouraged to join the community, hang out on the Discord server and learn more about the Hive ecosystem in general. The community is full of good-natured folks who are willing to help you on your Hive journey. When I joined a month ago, I was new to Hive and really had no idea what I was doing, but learned a lot from those in the community in a very short period of time, and by chance stumbled upon a very promising project in the meantime. I'm glad I joined when I knew virtually nothing about Hive, or I probably would've outsmarted myself. It has been the most positive experience I've had to date since getting into crypto 3 years ago. Welcome, fren.
