Recently, a bunch of people have been staring at the unlock calendar and yelling “sell pressure.” I feel it’s more like an emotion calendar: the more anxious they are, the more they want to interact and chase airdrops—only to end up getting counter-rugged by accident. Pay the gas, sign the permissions, and in the end you just get a “Thanks for participating.”

My approach is pretty timid: first ask yourself whether I’m actually willing to use this protocol for a while. If not, don’t pretend to be a long-term user. For me, “long-term” is only one or two quarters—after that, I can’t even remember who’s who. If you can authorize less, authorize less; if you can use a smaller account, use a smaller one. Don’t turn FOMO into a KPI… In any case, those little frictions in the process ultimately end up as a human-nature tax.
