Green days...and big airdrops

OK I am not going to lie to you...

This is got to be the first time ever since I started using Binance that every single coin on my "favorite list" is green. And by green I mean like really green... Check this out...

Now you also know what my favorite coins are. Hey I am proud of that list... and of my bags which I struggle to refill as 2020 was kinda apocalyptic for me.

What you can't see on that list though is the LEO token because obviously it isn't listed on Binance...yet!

As a matter of fact the market today is so good that even if today was the first day someone decided to buy crypto for the first ever, all they had to do is close their eyes and pick a random number between 1 - 5000+ and then visit Coinmarketcap see what fate decided for their behalf and simply buy it. Lets say...No 293...and that would be...the mighty(?) CVP which is also mooning of course...

Jokes aside, it seems to me that some people take profits from BTC and put it in alts. It makes sense to take some profits between $37K - $38K after all, right? Could this be the beginning of the alt season? Make no mistake, just because ETH, Link UNI and a few other tokens keep going up the last couple of months that doesn't mean that this is an alt season...if you had been around during the previous alt season you know pretty well what I am talking about.

It probably feels better than sex too...


Speaking of LEO...

144900314_245230913760244_4937679947491171611_n.jpg

...it is comfortably cruising at $0.60 and I have a feeling that this is just the beginning. You see I had a really interesting talk with a friend in a discord channel. Long story short we started discussing about previous massive airdrops such as XLM's back in 2017 or BCH that rewarded every one who was holding 1 BTC with 1 BCH...he was bragging and trolling me at the same time about the 800 UNI tokens he received when a few months back Uniswap probably did the biggest airdrop in crypto history while I was excluded from that airdrop because I didn't even know what Uniswap was at the time...

Everyone was eligible to receive 400 UNI for every ETH wallet they possessed as long as it had transacted with their platform before they took the snapshot. And this guy received 400 UNI for his 2 ETH wallets...lucky bastard...

The thing about airdrops is that people usually don't "respect" free money and it's a good opportunity for them to simply sell their free tokens and buy BTC or anything else...

That's exactly how things played out with the UNI airdrop too. No surprises there...99% of the people were eligible for 400 only and what a great opportunity to get rid off those 400 tokens for ~ $2000, right? Ya UNI was sitting at $5 back then...everyone kept selling...price of course declined...dipped at ~ $2.5 if my memory serves me well.

A few months down the road UNI is cruising at $21 and those who held may brag that $8000 of free tokens is indeed the biggest airdrop in crypto history...

Is it...? Of course it's not.


Go ahead and ask PAL moderators what one of the biggest airdrops in crypto history is like...

PAL was the first tribe that came to life and each PAL moderator received 30K PAL tokens. A couple of months later @khaleelkazi created LEO. And exactly because the only reference point was PAL he decided to kick things off for his tribe, by airdropping everyone LEO tokens based on the PAL tokens they had staked to 1:1 ratio.

So every PAL moderator received 30K LEO tokens. What that means is that those who held till today are the ones who received one of the biggest airdrops in crypto history...

30K LEO x $0.61 = ~ $24.300...

Don't get me wrong...I'd love to be in their shoes...unfortunately just like most of you I had to build my way up...which is better in a way...because you appreciate things more.

Well that might not be entirely true because there was a screenshot on Twitter some months ago from a guy who was airdropped ~ 124K UNI...which is something like $2.5 mill but this was probably the one and only exception.

In any case everyone received their fair share in LEO tokens when it launched and those who didn't sell off are part of the history...which is still in the making.

Have a good one people...

Lolzzz you were pretty unlucky I have to admit.

Hey go grab some more LEO then. You never know how much these new tokens will worth a few months down the road...and if their price follows LEO's path then it will be huge.

Sometimes is not that simple.
I sold over 1K UNI at $3 for ETH, changed 50% to wLeo and put it all into the pool. Now I enjoy my Geyser eruptions of over 1K leo per month.

Oh, and 80K hive airdrop on steem holders was not bad at all if you consider I sold them at 90 cents and buy back at 11 cents.

I know, I know. I'm bragging now.
Sorry.

All things LEO look like solid investments atm. Wonder if you had held till now...just to sell around $20...wouldn't you have a lot more LEO? Incentive won't last forever...

Perfect timing right there...Too bad I only managed to sell about 1500 Hive around $.85...as you understand I had staked even the last token I was airdropped...stupid 13 weeks...

The alt season isn't fully here I guess as only a few ALTs are doing pretty good. Needless to say, it's the good times and watching a seas of green sometimes is good for your morale I think.
Airdrops can be tricky, imagine all those Pal moderator made a choice to hold all that Leo.

Some of them did and in the meantime made some serious profits from curation. Some others didn't...bottom line is that airdrops are a good way to attract people and if the project is worthy enough price usually goes up, hence holding is usually a good choice.

I had to buy my UNI at a $10 average price. I'm highly excited about it for this bull market. Besides LEO I haven't been airdropped anything significant since I got into crypto.

No I didn't. I hold it on a software wallet though. Not on Uniswap and purchased all my tokens, haven't participated in the first one either.

lol I remember the day I got the uni airdrop. I did not sleep that whole night. it felt like a dream. I didn't believe it until I had half of it in fiat sitting in my account, which I used a significant portion to develop my property. But I really did not know what the project was about. I had the same attitude with my leo airdrop. If I have learnt any lesson it is to be patient. Anyway, I still feel there is a huge opportunity for leo to reach $3-$4 dollars

I always play it wrong so this time holding whatever I'm airdropped on project blank and building with it. I've sold my tribe tokens for Leo so I consider that a win even though there are a few that seem to have a future. I'm all in on project blank no matter what it is lol

Like you, I missed also UNI and 1INCH and probably a lot of good opportunities.

The LEO airdrop was one of the best I ever received and now I hold more LEO than PAL, even if I staked 99,9% of my PAL.

We have opportunities all over, we only need to pay attention to them and keep patience as this brings the most value.

And exactly because the only reference point was PAL he decided to kick things off for his tribe, by airdropping everyone LEO tokens based on the PAL tokens they had staked to 1:1 ratio.

I remember now. A lot of people back then dumped their tribe token airdrops immediately because they were Steem maximalists and didn't take the tribe tokens seriously at all. Obviously in hindsight this was a mistake, but I can't really blame them because back then everyone was waiting for the SMTs hype train to arrive.

LEO at $0.6 is cool. In a few days, it'll be in the range of $0.7 and before we know it $1 is just here and that before the end of Q1. Interesting to see how much LEO PAL moderators earned at the beginning of the journey. If at all they know how far things would go with LEO.

Exactly. People just sell out their all free tokens. I missed uniswap airdrop. But i was recieved some decent crypto from the airdrops like byteball, steem-engine and steemhunt. But uniswap was biggest.

Solid read....

Good Read thx. This Bitcpoin Beginner is Still waiting on my first airdrop....as free crypto is at least as good as free sex 😁 But I have seen it happen to my friend that pulled me into to this crypto universe, like 2 weeks after I started.... who knows it seems the chances on airdrops are bigger than winning the lotery lol.

Good idea! How many do I need?

I figured I would need 100 to start distributing LEO but it seems my upvote is now worth 0.001 LEO which is impressive with only 22 LP. I have a few questions, I am searching for more discussions about various aspects of LeoFinance, Hive and Bitcoin in particular.

My first question is, are the LEO rewards payouts ON TOP of the Hive payouts? If I compare posts on PeakD and LeoFinance, the former rewards payout on a particular post is $0.35 USD and pending_payout_value (0.349 HBD which is worth approx 0.38 according to coinbase), and the latter using LeoFinance shows 9.2 LEO and $5.65 USD, that means the total payout is 0.349 HBD + 9.2 LEO, correct?

These are two separate values; the HIVE base layer, and the hive-engine layer, correct?This is pretty incredible if you ask me. Powering up LEO sounds like a really good idea.

Correct

These are two separate values; the HIVE base layer, and the hive-engine layer, correct?

Again, correct

Do it!

Thank you for addressing my questions, I really am excited about LeoFinance!

Next, I am looking at the Uniswap V2 eth/WLEO pair. What can users do to help and what do they get out of providing liquidity to the pool? If you can answer this, or if not, either way I appreciate your time.

I remember that airdrop. It was the biggest ever airdrop i have received. Later, the price was climbed up a lot.

In airdrops, I have never been lucky with airdrops besides the hive airdrop of course. So I had to build up from scratch too. Not sure if I appreciate it more, but that doesn't matter. I'm excited about the Leo airdrops that are to come in the near future.
