Sharing my own thoughts here!
After joining Telegram 2 years I have been farming numerous telegram 'airdrops' starting off with $NOT coin and the like.
Community excitement for the airdrops skyrocketed at an alarming rate where not 1, not 2 but millions of people joined in on the airdrops phases.
In the 2 years of farming, there have been hundreds of new bots popping up with promises of airdrops and TGE only to disappoint the masses, all starting with 3 things...
1 Watching endlessly long youtube videos to find codes - making money from users who spend their valuable data, as an example let us use memefi statistics for the last 4 months.
Average user watched approximately 450-500 videos (grab your calculator and check how much data you used)
Youtube analytics

November 2024$ 77.7K
October 2024$ 250K
September 2024$ 120K
August 2024$ 55.1K

Plus, daily login ton, daily login stars, buy packages, premium, spins etcetera
Airdrop was a total joke!

2 In Bot airdrop payments
hmmm goes without saying that hardened air-droppers will say that yes there is normally an airdrop fee for withdrawal or fee for conversion, but some of the apps have gone the extra mile in exploiting users on Telegram. 1 Ton for withdrawals is astronomical ( lets see who can guess which culprits these were in the comments)

If one did not spend X amount of $TON $USDT $ETH etcetera to buy a worm, mint your name, buy a NFT, spin a wheel, daily logins etcetera, either you did not qualify for the airdrop or you received absolutely minimum
3 Farm and Exit
it goes without saying that not every airdrop will be successful as there are many mitigating factors that contribute towards either success or failure. That goes without saying that the majority of airdrops that last months |you heard me right...months| where the community supported the airdrop on various social media as well as economically only to find that they are hindered with number 2 above criteria or we get a airdrop and it is DUST....DUST....DUST.... (name 3 of your projects that gave you dust that you worked hard on in the comments, mine was catizen, x empire and major)
I am going to interject here that with the latest airdrop of Major ($Major), the distribution was a laugh! to say the least.
Major Telegram boasted free tokens to all users regarding rank, I myself Farmed 2.1 million coins and ranked at 526k on the leader board, token distributed was 1.2 star. my sister ranked at 5mil + and farmed less than 1 mil coin and received 1 star. How is that fair distribution?
Many believe that the distribution was reversed and was not allocated correctly giving the community major disappointment in the project (pun intended)
Let me know your thoughts, am I being too cynical , are there too many scam bots now on Telegram farming the communities, am I just a skeptic?

The cryptocurrency industry has come a long way from the first airdrops, when projects generously shared their tokens in an effort to attract attention to new technologies and build a loyal audience. These times became a starting point for many who, exploring the crypto industry in a gaming format, achieved financial freedom. Many users received their first tokens for free, while developers gained trust and respect by offering valuable products.

WazirX Cyberattack: Bengal Man Arrested in Rs 2,000 Crore Crypto Heist

A jaw-dropping cyberattack on WazirX in July shook India’s crypto community, resulting in a massive loss of Rs 2,000 crore worth of digital assets. Here’s everything you need to know, broken down into easy points:
The Cyber Heist – What Happened?
1. Massive Breach: WazirX suffered a massive security breach on July 18, losing almost 45% of its holding assets.
2. Hot Wallet Drained: #hackers targeted WazirX’s hot wallet, which stores online funds, and even attempted to breach its cold wallet (offline funds with extra security).
3. Multi-Signature Wallet Compromise: The heist involved a multi-signature wallet with six signatories—five from #wazirX and one from Liminal Custody, their wallet security provider.
Breakthrough Arrest – Who’s Behind It?
Prime Accused Arrested: Delhi Police arrested SK Masud Alam, a resident of West Bengal, from East Midnapore.

Liminal Custody’s Role Under Scrutiny
Alleged Non-Cooperation: Liminal Custody, the firm responsible for securing WazirX’s wallets, is accused of not cooperating with the investigation.

- Recent surge in Toncoin's price, hitting a two-year peak.
- Likely catalysts: Telegram's remuneration program for channel owners and potential IPO.
- Potential influx of $30 billion liquidity from Telegram IPO, fueling TON blockchain growth.
- Toncoin currently testing support at $3.55; breaking this may propel rally to $5.
- Investors advised to monitor daily chart for close above $3.55.
Toncoin is capturing attention within the cryptocurrency community this week due to its prominent position in what could be the beginning of an altcoin surge. Over the past week alone, Toncoin has experienced a remarkable increase of more than 30%, marking its highest point in the last two years.
The surge in Toncoin's value has been significant, with gains exceeding 30% in just one week, notably spiking by over 20% between Tuesday and Wednesday. This surge has propelled Toncoin's price to approximately $3.58, surpassing its previous high of $3.12 last observed in October 2022. The accompanying surge in trading volume, reaching 3515, underscores growing investor interest, hinting at Toncoin's potential for further upward movement in the near future.
Behind Toncoin's recent climb lie several key catalysts. Notably, Telegram and The Open Network (TON) revealed plans for a remuneration program early in March 2024, where channel owners would receive crypto payments from ad revenue. Telegram's decision to distribute ad revenue equally with channel owners has generated considerable excitement around Toncoin, emphasizing Telegram and TON's commitment to integrating cryptocurrencies into their operations.
In addition to Telegram's initiatives, Binance announced in late February the launch of a perpetual futures contract for the $TON token, further bolstering Toncoin's ecosystem and potential value.
A pivotal development contributing to Toncoin's rise is the prospect of Telegram's initial public offering (IPO), as indicated by Pavel Durov, Telegram's founder, in a recent interview with the Financial Times. With Telegram's user base nearing 900 million and the platform edging closer to profitability, an IPO could attract institutional investors, injecting an estimated $30 billion of fresh liquidity into the ecosystem. Durov's statement about Telegram's profitability timeline underscores the potential for Toncoin's further growth as the IPO draws nearer.
Technically, Toncoin has broken above the $3.55 high, a significant milestone not achieved since October 2022. While a retest of this level is anticipated, considering current overbought conditions indicated by the RSI on the daily chart, Toncoin may consolidate above $3.55 before potentially surging to the 0% Fibonacci level between $5.38 and $5.44.
It's essential to recognize the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies and conduct thorough research before making financial decisions. While Voice of Crypto aims to provide accurate information, readers should exercise caution and autonomy in their investment choices.
