In 2025, cryptocurrency investors split into two camps. Some spend the whole year chasing airdrops, hoping for free token distributions from various projects. Others take a steady approach, continuously building positions in the spot market and accumulating real assets. The result is quite sobering—those obsessed with airdrop mechanisms often see little profit, while players who invest time and capital into tangible assets earn a fortune this year. In the end, diligent people reap rewards, while the lazy have to accept defeat. Which category did you belong to last year?

Based on on-chain data, the average return rate for airdrop groups is indeed in the 12-18% range, while the spot accumulation group generally exceeds 45%. This gap... is indeed a bit heartbreaking.

Airdrop dreams shattered, I still have to honestly build my position.

Airdrop enthusiasts are crying to death. My spot holdings throughout the year have truly been a blood profit. I was too lazy to chase hot topics, but I ended up winning.

Last year, I was the kind of fool who checked the airdrop list every day. Now looking at those zero coins in my wallet... I really took a huge loss😅

Last year, I was that fool who checked airdrops every day. Looking back, it was really a waste of time.

Last year, I was the kind of swing trader who "wanted airdrops and wanted to build positions" at the same time, but in the end, I didn't make any profit haha

Last year, I just kept grabbing airdrops, and now my account looks like I never touched it. I'm really impressed with myself.

I was that kind of fool chasing airdrops last year. Now, looking at others' profit sheets, I really want to slap myself. I should have taken advice and built my position properly a long time ago.

Last year, I relied on a few project airdrop lists, but I didn't get any... Now I realize that it's still about accumulating spot holdings; airdrops are just a gambler's game.

I was that kind of fool who spent every day waiting for airdrops last year, and I'm still regretting it now.
