- My opinion on testnets
Lately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to filter out and follow airdrop alpha
From what I gather, I classify airdrops into three categories
1. retroactive, non-expected airdrops (usually DeFi, Ethereum protocols). Example: $DYDX, $RBN, nullINCH. The best, IMO
2. announced airdrops. these could be a bit scammy, and I usually do not cover them. especially if they require RTs/sharing/inviting friends, a waste of time.
Testnets (blockchains, like $CANTO) have been falling into this "2. announced airdrops" category. they declare it beforehand.
Most of my time working on what information to share is filtering out the garbage, this is very time-consuming
I filter most testnets out. $CANTO, for example:
it was very easy to get in, you just had to tweet (2-day window) and follow a few testnet steps
They ended up airdropping 2% of supply to 9K+ addresses that followed the tasks
https://canto.mirror.xyz/6UtxzGXsyCt6onAZjqwinAlQXhmq41Ow9o5SvPRkNKo
This "testnet" airdrop category is especially common with new blockchains and products, like zkSync and Starknet. I haven't been sharing info on these lately either, since the airdrop success rate is low imo
But $CANTO was basically free tokens
3. liquidity mining disguised as airdrops
If we are being 100% strict, airdrops to LPs are no more than a liquidity mining campaign. The difference is that you don't know the APR beforehand and you speculate that it'll be higher than what's available in the market (and good r/r)
For example, for $HOP, you got an airdrop allocation if you were a LP, and another airdrop allocation if you bridged funds
I think this is perfectly fine if the token wasn't launched (like hop's case)
But there are other protocols that already have a token and the token is tradable, but they advertise an "airdrop" for people that LP
In reality, they are just distributing funds as a liquidity mining campaign
This is the 3rd category, and I don't consider these to be airdrops
Now, we can't say that testnets haven't been successful, so ignoring them altogether is no longer the best choice
I'd rather just use DeFi protocols normally- this usually has been the best strategy in my case. I got $PSP in a few wallets that were doing just normal trading ops
Another thing to consider is that testnet airdrops are different, since they do not require funds in most cases - so no funds for LP, no funds for gas, and no funds for trades...
That's about it.

- I think there are a lot of lessons we can learn from Web 2 and all it’s social media platforms regarding algorithms, the way we filter information and why it gets so toxic most of the times.
A lot of them are used to spread misinformation, fake news and propaganda. The moment politics and ADS invaded Web 2 it was game over and it became corrupted.
I have high hopes for web 3 and the new platforms that are emerging. Hopefully we won’t repeat the same mistakes, lfg! 🏆 🚀

- Polygon ID & Polygon DAO
- Lens protocol & DeSoc
- Ethereum merge, yes contrary to common beliefs this will help side chains, they are essential for the ecosystem;
- network activity is increasingly by the day, and this creates demand for the token(gas fees);
- great and engaged community;
- $450 million+ raised from some of the world’s biggest venture capitalists in February;
- Polygon has also committed null billion to investments in zero knowledge (ZK) cryptography, a technology widely expected to make network congestion a thing of the past and help resolve issues around privacy.

- “None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there…
A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time."
This will not suffice. Remember that.”

- „Take heed not to be transformed into a Caesar, not to be dipped in the purple dye, for it does happen. Keep yourself therefore, simple, good, pure, grave, unaffected, the friend of justice, religious, kind, affectionate, strong for your proper work.
Wrestle to be the man philosophy wished to make you. Reverence the gods, save men. Life is brief; there is but one harvest of earthly existence, a holy disposition and neighborly acts.“
