imo entirely dependent on qualification for the airdrops

discriminating against those who hold / sell airdrops is not the way, you shouldn't have the choice

fix the qualification process to mitigate the problem

we trade open markets

The mythical user that only wants airdrops to use as in-app utility tokens doesn’t exist

Tokens are exciting bc you can trade them. Traders being punished / excluded from future airdrops for selling is a weird dynamic

@jake has had the best messaging here. He constantly tells $QR holders to sell and risk off if they want to

Mostly agree. Hopefully FC team can develop a decent algorithm that allows some level of selling without significant punishment moving forward. Maybe they’re already doing that and it’s a “small sample size” problem currently.

On the other hand, it’s completely understandable that a dev/protocol would prefer to avoid airdropping to insta-jeets. I don’t really see that as sell shaming, nor do I consider the carrot on the stick approach currently being used for these FC drops as sell shaming. But that’s getting into opinions and semantics

We do some music enjoying. We shoot some hoops. We degen with the homies.

Yeah I think that’s a strong argument.

Lots of considerations.

These FC airdrops seem to be mostly marketing endeavors. So it’s easy to frame as a user acquisition calculation, where the app paying for marketing wants to filter for “quality” users. Which leads to more considerations on what makes a “quality” user in this context.

Ultimately no one is forcing anyone to hold the tokens. The airdropper works with FC to decide criteria, the airdrop receivers decide on their own criteria of determining what to do with the tokens. Always tradeoffs, so I have a hard time critiquing the current way FC is going about this

I think it’s a red herring to worry about selling 

If you have a real product with utility and it needs an asset that’s not usdc or eth, you probably don’t need to worry about people paper handing it if they like the product

Lot of if statements there though
