When I saw this airdrop screenshot, I was truly stunned.

A third-year college student, starting from zero to participate in the early testing of a leading storage protocol, running a node, transmitting data—this round of airdrops directly earned him $300,000—over two million RMB. That’s a figure that many people wouldn’t reach even after ten years of hard work.

He completed in one night what others take half a lifetime to do. It’s not an exaggeration to say I’m envious, but lying there regretting is pointless. The key is to understand what this behind-the-scenes message really means.

What does it say when a project dares to spend so much money on an airdrop? It indicates ample funds, a broad vision, and more importantly, they’re not just playing around. That’s confidence, and it’s also a signal—during the 2025-2026 cycle, they genuinely want to make some big moves.

So, if you missed out on this round of airdrops, are you completely out of the game? Not at all.

Early participants definitely gained an advantage in awareness, but our real opportunity lies ahead—waiting for the cycle’s red dividends.

Look at the current price of this project’s token. It’s still consolidating around $0.15.

A project big enough to casually distribute airdrops worth tens of millions, yet its market cap is only estimated at this level? That doesn’t quite add up.

This is actually a shakeout—clearing out those who received tokens just to dump them, so the project can go all out to rally the market.

So don’t obsess over “missing out” anymore. Since you didn’t get the airdrop, focus on the opportunities in the secondary market.

My approach is like this:

In terms of logic, compare it to leading projects in the same track; the current valuation is obviously undervalued. For entry timing, build positions gradually near the current price, don’t chase highs but get in when there’s a chance. For target setting, short-term aim for doubling, medium to long-term aim to break previous highs—once the trend is confirmed, hold tight without wavering.

The story of that third-year student actually aims to show that—opportunities are always there, it’s just whether you can seize them.
