air drop me money

Not sure what to write, sitting in bed using the tiny keyboard attached to my iPad, a new situation, not the normal place of typing out thoughts, but hey, it's going to hopefully give me a chance to write more, a chance to do something more than sit in bed scrolling the twitter feed until my eyes can no longer stay open due to the burn of the screen in the dark and tiredness

Time spent in the markets lately has been very strange, there is a different vibe at the moment and the DeFi movement has caused a lot of it. Money can be made in so many different ways than traditional trading; an entry/stop/target seems so last year now, but, if you’re not trading with these basic three requirements anymore then isn’t that just gambling? Probably. Is it more fun, yes, I would say so. The rise to fame of uniswap has been the blessing that a lot of traders have welcomed, and, in the same breath, completely rekt (rugs are for another day, let's try and stay positive for now). Back to basics, buy low and sell high, no leverage, no short selling, just swap one token for another, it’s as simple as that. I’ve enjoyed it. Maybe that’s because it actually is more like gambling than trading, I don't know, but I’ve made money

Airdrops. Literally free money. So very odd. Mostly rigged in favour of those in the know, or, for those quick enough and lucky enough to get a form filled in with their eth address on time. Countless hours spent in the most autistic of telegram chats is what it sometimes takes to get airdropped the latest tokens - no, I don’t recommend, and no, it isn’t for everyone - with no guarantee of even getting any, or, getting any that are worth more than a few bucks. Is it worth it, I guess that depends on your own personal situation and if you can be bothered to do the above. Whatever your take on the airdrop phase of the market, there is money to be made, and for the determined airdrop hunter (call them what you will) there is the potential to make thousands of dollars

So what can you do to better your chances of some free money, other than spend all your time in telegram channels, I’ll tell you (and then you'll ignore my advice anyway :)

• follow someone who is doing all the hard work for you, @TraderSmokey (twitter handle) has a telegram channel where he posts links to all the latest airdrops (big time saver)
• make friends, hard for some of you i know, but, the more connections you have the better your chances of securing a decent airdrop
• sounds obvious, but, get good at filling in these airdrop forms, every second counts when they drop. Have your eth address ready to paste in, and know what your telegram or twitter handle is so you can type that out quickly
• keep an eye on your eth addresses that you're using for these airdrops on ethscan. As soon as your account gets dropped some tokens they will appear in the 'Token' section

• this part is up to you, but, my favoured method of dealing with airdropped tokens is to sell them for ETH as soon as the contract goes live on uniswap
• rinse and repeat, literally no skill to this other than making sure you sell and not getting attached to your airdrop in the hope that it's going to the moon
• if you don't know how to use uniswap, then the following screenshots below should give some idea on how to get going
• (tip: always keep some spare eth in your account so you can pay the fees on uniswap)
