Lately, I've been interacting with airdrops again. The worst part isn't missing out, but getting countered: wallet permissions piling up, gas fees burning away, and finally being cut off by the project team like a witch hunt. My approach is pretty simple: only interact with protocols I can clearly understand what they’re doing, set limits on permissions if possible, and revoke them after use; don’t overdo the interaction frequency—act like a normal user, don’t try to unlock all features in one night.

Forget it, to put it plainly: don’t treat yourself as a test subject just for a few “possible tokens.”

Also, everything is now being linked to ETF capital flows and U.S. stock market risk appetite, making it easier to fall into FOMO when emotions run high. I set a personal limit: a fixed weekly interaction budget, stop once it’s used up. Even if I don’t get an airdrop, I’ll consider it tuition—at least I won’t risk my main wallet.
Anyway, lasting longer is more important than hitting the jackpot once.
