Recently, some people have started showing off their "interaction checklists," which makes my hands itch, but honestly, airdrops are pretty much like writing poetry: you think you've rhymed, but a slight slip and a turn can turn it into a scam. My current approach is very simple: only engage with protocols I truly need, with small amounts so I won't mind losing; when I see task requirements that look too much like rushing homework, I just skip them, don’t treat my time as fuel to feed others’ data.
And lately, hardware wallets are all out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere... The more these situations happen, the more I want to remind myself not to be impulsive. When FOMO hits, I first copy the link into a notepad and take two minutes to calm down, then verify the domain before clicking. Anyway, taking it slow won’t cost me any less. As for DYOR (doing your own research), just do about 70-80% of it; the remaining 20-30% is left to fate. That’s all for now.
