Notcoin’s 2024 airdrop, with 40M users, saw a 73% price crash to $0.005, a $806M valuation gutted by 60% sell-offs, per BanklessTimes. Lessons whisper caution—oversupply (5B tokens) drowned demand, a spectral flood. Risk management demands diversification: allocate 50% to stablecoins, 30% to blue-chips like BTC, and 20% to airdrops. Hedge via delta-neutral farming, balancing long and short positions to curb volatility, as AirdropAlert suggests. The market’s hum, a mournful chord, warns of hype’s fragility—a fragile thread where strategic buffers shield against the chaotic deluge of profit-taking in this tap-to-earn descent.
