I participate in airdrops.. This is where a new coin will try to distribute their coins for free or for following them in telegram etc or small bounties. Usually they will be distributed to your Ethereum wallet after an ICO.
The purpose is usually to provide some liquidity to the market when the token goes live. For instance, I managed to get on the Polymath airdrop where they gave 250 tokens to each person. It's now tradeable at ~$1USD each. Not all airdrops are this generous.. and to move the tokens to an exchange will cost some ethereum.
Want to use this to share airdrops found.. obviously there is the incentive of referrals, so if you do participate and don't want to give me referral credit, feel free to remove the referal code at the end of the links.
