You’re a developer building a new token-based product.

Your goal is to acquire users for your product. You’re considering an airdrop as a tactic to do this.

User A 
History of not selling airdrops immediately.

User B
Sells most airdrops immediately.

You can only airdrop to one. Which one do you choose?

My 2c on Airdrop-Selling drama:

+ I worked with Merkle on an Airdrop. They didn't impose their criteria on us, they helped us to set *our* critieria.

+ Therefore, I think many people are mistakingly taking Dan's comment as a threat "from Dan" when, in fact, it is his observation of what Airdrop Teams will decide for their self-interest.

+ And I'd say Dan's point is directionally correct – giving airdrops that seem likely to be insta-sold is less appealing to Teams than the opposite.

+ However, selling does *not* have to overwhelm all other criteria. Eg, if someone is a power-user of many apps and tokens like @tricil.eth, this may be more important to a Team than whether he sold a drop or not.

tldr: Dan's point clearly has merit, but Airdrop Criteria is a unique decision made by each Team (not by Merkle!)

Regular guy here with some 2c to  share!  I received a 200k Bracky airdrop for March Madness! Been utilizing Bracky ever since. In fact it’s all I care to hold! 

Distribution of an airdrop that can be used to benefit the project will be handled differently than an airdrop that’s focal point is value. Function over value for me!

Good distinction! Glad you were on our list!
