Lately, I've been back to interacting with airdrops, and my mindset is quite subtle: I don't want to be counter-rolled (interactions often end with a "Thank you for participating" message), but I'm also afraid of missing out by being too passive.

So I forced myself to think in terms of "probability"—I'm assigning some weight to the chance of winning, not gambling with fate.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading systems are also very popular, but I see them as two different groups: one group is hyping narratives to make you trust one-click management, while the other is focusing on security details (authorization, private keys, contract upgrades).
Anyway, I prefer to go slower, with more manual confirmations.
I don't chase the full interaction process; I pick protocols whose logic I can understand and that I can afford the cost of.
Set a stop-loss: once I start granting permissions or signing signatures recklessly just for the "possible airdrop," I know I’m already experiencing FOMO… so I stop.
