Lately I've been interacting with airdrops again, my mind really wants "more chains, more tasks," but I have to hold back, or else I'll get sniped faster than I can get the airdrop... I currently have basically two rules: the less authorization, the better; and always set a budget, send a small fixed amount on each chain, stop once it's gone, don't get caught up in chasing after recharging, basically set a brake for myself.
The attention shift caused by memes and celebrity shoutouts is too fast this wave, veteran members in the group are advising newcomers not to take the last step, I find it quite painful but also quite right: don’t chase the hype just for the "possible airdrop," or you'll end up becoming the project’s KPI. There are many tutorials, but I prefer those that review "failure cases / anti-snipe reviews," at least they help me avoid stepping into a few pits... Anyway, with my appearance as a degen, once I open my ledger, I get honest.
