TL;DR of "The Future of Airdrops & Token Distribution" by @Punk9277:

The whole airdrop thing isn't working like it used to.

New tokens often get dumped, leading to the (literally) death of many projects.

@Punk9277 suggests it's time for a shift. Instead of distributing tokens for free, we should adopt a smarter blend of airdrops and ICOs.

These aren’t the usual first-come-first-served ICOs. The new strategy involves using data to identify a project's genuine supporters and offer them investment opportunities. This strategy focuses on:

X. Individuals with skin in the game (those showing commitment by purchasing, like holding a specific NFT).
X. Those with genuine passion (people who were active and supportive without any promised reward).

The aim is to build a community of dedicated long-term believers rather than quick-profit speculators.
