Lately, airdrop season has been making people anxious, but I’ve become better at one word: wait. Wait for projects to explain their rules in plain language, wait for the network to not be so crowded, wait for myself to wake up from the “fear of missing out.” The task platform’s anti-witchcraft + points system, honestly, is just pushing the degens to punch in and clock in. When I see continuous check-ins, inviting friends, or auto-rolling, my hands start to tremble: isn’t this just waiting for me to get anti-rolled…
My current simple method: interactions should be fewer and slower, and not to connect wallets or authorize randomly just for a few points. Use a small account if possible, give it a lower limit, finish the task, then revoke the authorization. Anyway, I don’t want to rely on a bunch of “possible airdrops,” risking being hacked, just for the hope of airdrops. When FOMO hits, I’ll wait for a correction, wait for the hype to pass, and wait until I’ve thought clearly whether I’m interacting or just paying rent for anxiety. That’s it for now.
