Lately, I've been back to interacting with airdrops, but I'm now quite afraid of "anti-snipe": you think you're doing tasks, but you're actually generating data for others. My simple methods are a few: only work on projects whose logic I understand, minimize permissions as much as possible, and revoke permissions after use; each project has a fixed small gas budget, if it exceeds that, I consider it not meant to be. When FOMO hits, I remind myself: airdrops are... and... , like buying lottery tickets and paying tuition fees, don’t mistake the latter for investment.
Some people keep an eye on large on-chain transfers and abnormal movements in exchange hot and cold wallets, thinking of them as "smart money." Honestly, it's just for entertainment; if I take it as a signal, I might get itchy hands. Anyway, my rules are still not to chase or leverage; being able to execute is more important than being able to predict. That’s how I’ll stick to it for now.
