These were the first batch of ~10 airdrops to Farcaster users (~$110K so far). Early on as projects target potential new high quality users, they're factoring in how likely is this user to convert (not a retro airdrop) Sometimes projects choose to exclude users if there have been *multiple* prior airdrop sales in the past (not if you just sold 1). Put yourself in their shoes if a user immediately sold multiple prior airdrops, they're prob less likely to convert and you can give to another user that is higher likelihood That said, you won't be permabanned forever for selling multiple as this is building some data early on and there will be factors that can help outweigh (post high quality content, use mini apps, do onchain txns) Team has been slammed but we'll have more infra support on airdrops later. On list is def to show more token info (that's why I manually post info for now since not built in) As Farcaster grows and becomes more valuable to target, airdrop amounts will naturally be larger too

I will sell ones that don’t make sense to me. Respectfully, why does WCT need a token?

Or taxes We get taxed in most western countries when we receive airdrop. If it has value, it will be taxed

Linda is spelling out or optimized choices. 1. Claim the airdrop, don't sell it to hurt your rep 2. Don't claim the airdrop if you feel it's not worth it All Linda is doing to presenting your options and being transparent with the consequences. It's really the best transparent way to make a proper assessment. - holding will cause positive reputation Or - selling will cause negative reputation (on top of legal shit) Now it's on us to decide what we want to do with 5-7 dollars (in most cases)

This makes sense, and I didn’t realize you can deny the airdrops you don’t support.

You can always just NOT CLAIM Act like you never saw the airdrop and if it becomes worth it, maybe you can claim later Some of these open for 30-90 days. Take in all the information and weight the pros and cons Not claiming and not selling doesn't hurt you I would think All of us need to think before we claim 🫡

Btw I believe it’s still a taxable event just receiving and not claiming the airdrop. Maybe they changed the law on that (hopefully)
