These days, I've been farming airdrops so much that my hands are a bit numb... I'm planning to set a "stop" rule for myself: stop interacting randomly, stop looking at screenshots in the group, stop chasing those "last day to get on board" drops. Honestly, many times it's not that the project is bad, but that I'm too impatient, and my wallet is like a street vendor casually sweeping everything up.
Now cross-chain bridges are having issues again, oracles are still reporting false data, and everyone is shouting "wait for confirmation," which feels pretty real. My approach is simple: I prefer to do fewer things, first check the contract and permissions, then see if there are any suspicious large orders on-chain, and only act once I'm sure there's no trickery. When FOMO hits, I look at open positions and funding rates, and when I see things heating up, I remind myself: take a break, don’t treat interactions like gambling.
