Let’s break it down: Notcoin crashed because of three things—hype, panic selling, and no real use case. It’s like a TikTok trend that goes viral, then gets forgotten in a week. The lesson? Don’t invest in trends—invest in projects that solve problems. Risk management for college crypto newbies: 1) Start with stable coins if you’re nervous—they’re like training wheels for crypto. 2) Invest small amounts regularly (DCA—Dollar-Cost Averaging) instead of one big lump sum—this smooths out price swings, like studying a little each day instead of cramming. 3) Set a stop-loss—this is your “emergency exit” if the price crashes, so you don’t lose more than you planned. And don’t be ashamed to ask questions—crypto can be confusing, like trying to understand a math lecture. Ask friends who know what they’re doing, or watch YouTube tutorials (the ones that aren’t just hype).

Hamster Kombat’s airdrop hit its game ecosystem like a rainstorm on a picnic—ruined the fun, but left some leftovers. The impact on user activity: initial explosion with 1.31B eligible users, thanks to multi-level referrals (direct invites = 2k points, Premium = 25k points) and daily tasks. But post-airdrop, activity plummeted. The airdrop’s issue? Too many users, too few tokens—$3 average payout. The ecosystem’s “play-to-earn” hype died, and users didn’t engage with new features (Squad Kombat, skins). Retention was 5-20%, way below traditional games. But TON chain’s address count grew 50%, and the project’s ad revenue was massive—so the ecosystem benefited crypto, even if users felt cheated.

Grass’s airdrop is the ultimate “lazy crypto” incentive for early folks—no mining rigs, no complicated tasks, just Wi-Fi sharing. The project rewards early participants with a slice of the 10% airdrop (100 million tokens), with 9% going to point earners. Early Alpha testers got 1.5%—like being the first to get the campus’s new meal plan and getting free fries. There’s also rewards for desktop node/Saga app users (0.5%) and NFT holders (0.5%). The best part? 30% of total tokens go to the community, so future airdrops are coming. It’s passive income that’s easier than ordering groceries online—just keep the app running, and watch the tokens add up (slowly, but surely).
