Before, whenever I heard “possible an airdrop,” I’d feel an itch to go for it—my wallet would be like it had an automatic route guide, darting straight into wherever it was hot; now I’ll pause for two seconds first and think: am I actually interacting, or am I just helping someone else run token wash, while also treating myself as the last runner?

Recently, Layer 2 has started comparing TPS again, comparing fees again, and comparing ecosystem subsidies again—it's just like a wet market, all shouting. To be blunt, the louder the subsidies, the more on guard I get: if there’s real wool, there are also “anti-scam” scissors. My method is pretty old-fashioned— I only use a standalone small wallet, with a limit so low that even if I get tricked, I won’t be upset; only the protocols I can make sense of get a click—if there are words I don’t understand in the signature pop-up, I treat it as if it’s cursing me at, and I just close it. In the past, I chased “full attendance,” but now I’d rather do a few fewer times than feed my FOMO just to avoid falling behind. After all, going slower hasn’t killed me.
