Recently, someone again compared RWA, U.S. Treasury yields, and various on-chain "yield products."

My first reaction after reading it wasn't surprise, but rather to clarify this "map" of airdrops:
Am I engaging in interactions to potentially earn airdrops, or am I buying into a yield narrative that could change rules at any time...
Honestly, the most common mistake in avoiding scams isn't being hacked, but being too impatient myself.
My approach is pretty simple: only keep 2-3 core interaction paths for each ecosystem, with fixed upper limits on costs (gas, cross-chain, time), and stop once the limit is reached;
Use new wallets for layering, the main wallet doesn't participate in the race;
When it comes to locking tokens, inviting referrals, or complex permissions, even if everyone is rushing, I’ll hold off for a couple of days.
The turning point is, completely avoiding FOMO isn't realistic, so I leave myself some "error margin,"
But the premise is that I can exit, permissions are controllable, and losing doesn’t affect my rhythm...
Anyway, I prefer to take it slow with airdrops, at least not to turn myself into a KPI for project teams.
