Recently, I’ve started interacting with airdrops again, and the more I do it, the more I feel that mindset is harder than operation… On one hand, I’m afraid of missing out, and on the other hand, I’m worried about being “re-claimed” by the project team in the end. After working hard, I even mess up my wallet. The rules I set for myself are pretty cautious: I don’t chase the first wave of excitement, I wait for one confirmation—see if there are continuous users on the chain, not just a one-day surge; I also try to interact like a normal user, avoid paths that look like scripts at a glance, the amounts aren’t large but the frequency shouldn’t be too crazy, better to go slow.

Speaking of deposits and withdrawals, recently, as some places announced tax increases or tightened compliance, the mood in the group immediately changed. Some people started rushing to “get on the train,” but I actually want to slow down the pace. Honestly, when policy expectations tighten, liquidity sentiment is more prone to fluctuations. At this time, FOMO-ing into new interactions is the easiest way to leverage myself. Anyway, I have two simple rules now: only do it if I can afford to lose, and even if I do, treat it as gaining experience—don’t treat airdrops as salary. That’s all for now.
