Lately, I've been debating whether or not to interact and chase airdrops. Honestly, I'm most afraid of not pleasing either side: not participating might mean missing out, but going in could also get you "anti-raid" by the project—rules change, thresholds are raised, and all the gas spent before is just tuition. I'm currently very cautious—small amounts, in batches, only doing paths I understand. I also keep an eye on whether the fee structure and routing are reasonable; if the fees are too high, don't expect the airdrop to be too generous either.

Additionally, in some places, taxes and compliance tighten and loosen, causing deposit and withdrawal expectations to shift. When everyone’s mindset becomes more anxious, it’s easier to fall into FOMO and make reckless interactions. Anyway, I’d rather do fewer actions than be driven by emotions. Still watching.
