On Airdrops
IMO the most +ev things to do in pockets of free time is to seek out potential airdrop opportunities.
Airdrops are the greatest ROI activity in crypto if you aren't starting out with much.
Look for projects that do not yet have a token.
Be early. Use the product.
Be an active part of their community.
Break the product, help it get better. Provide feedback.
Seek out projects that are
1) Well funded
2) Innovative/First mover/Disruptive
3) Are actively building
4) Aligned with your interests/expertise
5) Community driven
Goal of this channel has always been to provide value.

How To DeFi by Coingecko
Scrolled through a bunch of my saved messages and found this book again. Hard to believe it's been three years since this has been released. DeFi is ever changing and evolving, and there's so many new concepts right now.
I'm aware that some of you following this channel are new-ish to the space, so its a good light resource to read and learn abit more about DeFi in your free time 🙂
