Why airdrop farming is a gold mine during the bear market

I can already here the whining when the bull market ends.

“Crypto is dead.”
“Where’s the bull run?”
“I’ll just wait for things to pick up.”

I'm not saying this to be mean. But that's amateur behavior.

Because while they’re sitting on their hands, smart farmers are stacking bigger airdrop allocations in anticapation of the next bull market.

Airdrop farming is an absolute gold mine during a bear market. And yet, most people miss it.

Here’s why:

  • Less competition – In a bull market, every degenerate and their grandma is farming airdrops. But in a bear? It’s just the patient. Fewer farmers = bigger token allocations.

  • Teams need you more – Projects still need users, even when the market’s ded. They will drop a good chunk of their token allocation to the community, just like in a bull market.

  • Front-row seat for the next cycle – By farming in the bear, you position yourself for big gains once things pick up in the bull.

Most people will read this, nod, and still leave when the bear comes.

Yes, projects launching in a bear market often have smaller market caps. But so does the base currency I DCA my profits back into—whether that’s ETH, SOL, or whatever ecosystem I’m farming in.

And here’s what most miss: the % allocation of airdrops stays the same, bear or bull. The only difference? Fewer participants.

That’s how we’ve seen multiple $10K+ airdrops in past bear markets. Not because the rewards were bigger, but because fewer people were there to claim them.

That’s why I believe you should always be farming, bull or bear.

Talk soon.
