Holy crap, I got airdropped in Ampleforth for a good one
Some times crypto space is the most beautiful thing there is, in terms of airdrops, crazyness and free money. I was triggered by this post written by @belemo where he was talking about how he was eligible for an airdrop from the Forth token which is the token which is together with the stablecoin token Ample.
Ampleforth has this crazy way of working where the amount of token which you have in your wallet fluctuates and not the value of it. This is to me kind of an experimental way of thinking of how governance should be played, and hey it might as well work. Who knows.
There was spoken about how people who have the AMPL token are eligible for it, and by posting on Publish0x I got some. And with some I mean not enough to buy an ice cream from, literally a couple of bucks. But hey everything is worth a shot to look into something right?
So I went to the claimsite and went to pick up my tokens connecting my wallet through metamask. Initially I was irritated because it would cost me $11 on gasfees so I went to check out what the price of this token is and if it would be worth the claim versus the gasfees, and it turns out it is like $36/$37 dollars a pop. WTF.
So in turbo modus I went to get some ethereum from somewhere to start claiming these tokens. The pending took like forever and I remember again why I hate ethereum so much. Expensive and soooooo slow.
On etherscan I saw that my claim came through but I saw nothing in my metamask so I went to other ethereum frontends to get there and see if the Forth had reached. The fact that this is already so difficult to even see... again, did I mention my ethereum hate? :D
Well, the Forth had reached and with a quick look I saw it was enough to pay the rent from a couple of months and nearly fainted. An airdrop like this? From just posting a couple posts and keeping that in my wallet? Is paying the rent? Really..crazy!
And the crazy thing is that I remember that Publish0x also had rewards in UNI before the launch and everyone who had UNI in some wallet got airdropped like crazy. That was before my time unfortunately, but this one makes up for it. I guess Publish0x-ers are through the roof by now.
Tactics for this free money? I think Ampleforth will drop for a bit because it is just after the release. Maybe later on I will buy back, but for now it was time to dump some before the price might tank. I was a bit too late for this take-off of the day to invest it into something now everything is back up several percent, so that will be a good reason to have some Tether on the side for when there is a dip again.
Hell maybe I will even start some CUB farming with this free crypto.
I would say, if you have some AMPL check if you can get the airdrop as well. It is worth it. And @belemo , I owe you one for bringing this to my attention

Free cash is always good right? I just hadn't expected any of this and that makes it even way cooler. You dont have any AMPL hanging around to check it out?
No. I don't have any other tokens outside the Hive eco system other than a bit of BTC and some LTC left over from my buying Steem days.
I've looked into some other tokens along the way but never got round to buying any.
I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible although there are so many opportunities on Hive alone that I'm not doing a great job of it. 😂

Got ya. Yeah I got these tokens from crossposting my crypto posts on publish0x and they gave that as rewards.
I think I have made like 10 posts there and like some posts of others when I see something nice. I literally had a couple of bucks AMPL from it and now this popped over. Absolute long shot and just a lucky bastard, no wisdom in this one
I waiting for something to happen so I can write that about myself. 😂

That is how things seem to be working.
The more active we are in the blockchain world using the different applications and services, the more we are rewarded.
This is something that the UNI people learned and now the AMPL people.
I was in the first, not in the later. I am happy for all those who say their accounts grow by the drop. Now 10x it we are getting somewhere.

It is true. The more you are using stuff the more you are finding oppertunities which you did not necessarily create yourself. Or...well you did create them, because you are a user.
Being in the 4th year now is really starting to pay out different kind of things and numbers and that is just really cool (and potentially lifechanging along the line)

Oh cool, you've seen this. One of the people that stumbled into my own post and then benefited from the drop.
I'm just glad I could help man. Was just sharing it in pretty much the same way I got mine; from a random post on Leofinance
Congrats! Crypto is really a crazy space. Love to see things like this happening

congrats on getting the fort airdrop.
I don't get any, while some other in the airdrop community get like $1K or 10K worth of fort.
