Every claim on PeopleLikeCrypto goes through the same filter, whether it is an airdrop rumor or a listing date. Here is the filter, in the order we apply it.
1. Primary sources outrank everything
An exchange's own announcement page beats a news aggregator. A team member's statement on the record beats a screenshot of a Discord message. When all we have is secondary reporting, we say so and we link it, so you can judge the chain of custody yourself.
2. Status labels have definitions, not vibes
- Live: a claim or points program is open right now, and we have seen it working.
- Confirmed: the team has publicly committed to a token or an airdrop, on the record.
- Expected: strong structural signals (a points program, investor decks, repeated team hints) but no formal commitment yet.
- Speculative: community guesswork with some plausible basis. Treat it as a lottery ticket.
- Ended: snapshot taken or claim window closed. Kept for the record.
3. Every page carries a "facts checked" date
Crypto information rots fast. The date printed under each headline is the last time a human re-read the page against the sources. If that date looks old to you, treat the page with matching suspicion; that is exactly what we would do.
4. The scam bar is absolute
A legitimate airdrop never requires payment and never needs your seed phrase. Any project or "claim portal" that crosses either line is a scam by definition and gets described as one. There is no benefit of the doubt on this rule, because the cost of being wrong lands on you, not on us.
5. No pay-to-play, no bags
Nobody can pay for coverage, a better status label, or a spot in the tracker. The site does carry clearly labelled affiliate placements (currently a MiCA-regulated European broker), and here is the exact deal behind them: if you open an account through one of those links, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the entire arrangement. No project or exchange reviews our articles, picks what we track, or touches a status label, and every affiliate placement is marked as such with a rel="sponsored" link, so search engines see the relationship too.
Where a points program offers referral codes, we may publish ours on the relevant tracker page, always labelled. Referral bonuses are shared incentives (you typically get a boost too), and the same rule applies: a referral code never buys a better status label.
What we are not
We are not financial advisors, we are not auditors, and we cannot see the future. We reduce your research time; we do not replace it. Before you act on anything here, check the project's official channels yourself. The page for each airdrop links them for exactly that reason.
