There is no such a thing as a free lunch and as a smart reader you have every right to be skeptical when you hear about DeepOnion giving away coins via airdrops. Sounds way too good to be true, doesn't it? You have probably learned that there are always some strings attached when something is offered to you for “free”, because there simply is no free lunch after all. While this certainly applies to DeepOnion as well, there is simply no denying that the deal this project puts on the table for you is simply too good to turn down. Quite frankly, this might be one of the best opportunities you will ever come across in your life.
DeepOnion is a cryptocurrency project which offers a great deal of potential for a large variety of reasons. I am not going to cover these reasons in this article, let's just say these guys really know what they are doing and the quality and quantity of DeepOnion's community is simply off the charts. All of this is covered in detail in another article of mine, feel free to read it if you want to learn more ( https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@mwinter/hidden-gems-in-the-cryptocurrency-market-part-1-deeponion ). In this article I will strictly focus on the DeepOnion airdrop program and why you really don't want to miss out on this great opportunity. So let's get started then.
A cryptocurrency such as DeepOnion is highly decentralized. There is no company head quarter, no CEO, no official company meetings and no commercials on TV. Success and failure greatly depends on spreading the word to other people, one at a time. That's where you, the reader of this article, come into play. The truth is DeepOnion needs people like you! People who carefully research what DeepOnion is all about and then decide they want to be part of it. That's right, DeepOnion doesn't need you as a simple customer who just buys a product or a service, the project needs you as an ambassador! DeepOnion counts on people like you to promote the project, and if you do so you will be rewarded for your efforts by getting into the airdrop program. Simple as that. So what is it that you need to do in order to qualify for some free coins? Let's examine the preconditions one by one, they are all valid at the time of this writing, but they might change in the future.
You need to be a Bitcointalk Jr member. You can sign up for free and if you keep posting you can achieve Jr member status in less than six weeks. It takes a while, but at the time of this writing there are still 14 weeks of free airdrops left, so get started today and there will still be plenty of airdrops waiting for you once you are a Jr member. So go ahead and sign up: https://bitcointalk.org
You have to be a member of the DeepOnion community. You can sign up right here: https://deeponion.org/community
You are required to have at least 50 onions in your wallet. You can get these onions at various trading platforms, chances are this is still an affordable amount for you. If not, you can also help the community with articles, videos and artwork and then apply for a bounty.
You need to add a special signature to your Bitcointalk profile.
A certain number of weekly posts are required in both the Bitcointalk and the DeepOnion forum. Currently, these numbers are three for the BitcoinTalk forum and one for the DeepOnion forum. Quite achievable numbers I would say.
Well, this is already it! Once you have all of this covered you can apply and be part of the next airdrop. For up-to-the-minute information please check out the official airdrop rules: https://deeponion.org/airdrop.html
You may ask yourself why you need to be a Jr member of the Bitcointalk forum and why 50 onions are required to participate. These questions are fair enough and the answers are surprisingly simple. Bitcointalk is the most frequented cryptocurrency forum and DeepOnion wants you to post there and wear its signature in order to get some decent exposure. The 50 onions in your wallet are required to make sure only people who demonstrate some serious commitment to the project are eligible for airdrops. You either have to invest a small amount of your own money or do some useful stuff for the DeepOnion project, or a combination of both. It also prevents people from receiving airdrops multiple times and it serves as an incentive to hang on to your onions because the airdropped amount depends on how many onions you have in your wallet. As you can see, these rules make a lot of sense, they separate those who believe in the project and are willing to back up their claim from the pretenders who really only want that free lunch and nothing else.
So is DeepOnion's airdrop program something you should join? Ultimately, only you can decide. As far as I am concerned, it was a no-brainer to sign up as soon as I met the preconditions. As an early adopter you have a lot to gain and virtually nothing to lose. The future for DeepOnion looks very bright because it is a high quality project with an awesome community. In a market where great projects are few and far between, DeepOnion presents you with an amazing opportunity with close to zero risk involved. Missing out on a chance of this magnitude shouldn't be an option for you. So go ahead, sign up for the airdrop program and be part of something great!
