Firstly, for those who do not know what airdrop means, here's a quick enough definition for you:
What is an Airdrop?
Well, an airdrop, simply put, is a type of cryptocurrency distribution event, where individuals are given tokens, as an incentive to get people to hold cryptocurrency.
This distribution event occurs after an ICO(Initial Coin Offering) goes live and the smart contract for the ICO sends new tokens to the existing addresses of users who participated in the pre-sale.
For example, If you buy into an ethereum-based ICO, then on the airdrop date the token is sent to user’s wallets and they can then “add the token” to their Ethereum wallets
Most of the airdrop tokens are based off of the ethereum blockchain, thus, requiring an ethereum wallet like myetherwallet and not an exchange like coinbase, Gemini etc
A Little Tip On How Transactions Work On The Blockchain
When receiving or transfering cryptocurrencies, like ethereum or bitcoin, what is really happening is not an actual transfer of anything but a matching of private key and public keys then the blockchain authenticates the transaction and then the person's receiver's wallet changes.
So, in other words, you ain't really transferring anything but you are simply providing a solution to a math problem and if your solution is correct, then, it will get authenticated by the blockchain.
My reason for saying this, is to help you understand the essence of using a wallet like my etherwallet, Mist, Metamask, Exodus or Jaxx because it gives you a private key, thus, giving you total governance over your wallet and you should not by any chance misplace your private key. Whereas, an exchange like Coinbase or Gemini doesn't.
If you use a client-side tool like MyEtherWallet or Mist, Metamask, Exodus, or Jaxx, then you have the private key and you control your funds and your key. You do not rely on Coinbase or Gemini sending your funds from their account to yours.
The upside is that you, and only you, control your keys. An exchange getting hacked won't affect you. The downside is that you, and only you, control your keys. No one else has them, nor can recover them, should you lose them.
If you do lose your private key or wallet file or password, you cannot prove ownership of an account and therefore you cannot ever send your coins again.

Sorry for the little deviation. I wanted to clear the air on that before proceeding. So, the essence of this post and many other post after this, is to give an airdrop alert.
