Last night, I stumbled upon a few “yield-on-yield” schemes involving re-staking and shared security, and my hand twitched—I almost moved that pile of NFT floor funds too. Later, I thought about it and got a little scared: yields can be compounded, and the added risk is also truly compounded, not some PPT-stacked layers. To put it plainly, you keep taking the same collateral and “borrowing credit” with it. Once the bottom layer has even a small problem, everything on top shakes along with it. Even if the chain is bustling, it won’t help you absorb the drawdowns.

This airdrop season is the same. The harder task platforms go after anti-sybil (“anti-witch hunt”), the more the points system feels like clocking in at work. By the end, everyone ends up pushing so hard that they easily start treating “possible airdrops” as guaranteed pay, and then—almost automatically—pledge their peace of mind as well… I have only one principle right now: earn what you can, don’t treat illusions as profits, and don’t go all-in. That’s it.
