Recently, someone again explained the rise and fall of the crypto market by linking ETF fund flows with U.S. stock market risk appetite.
Seeing this makes me even more itchy: I always feel like "Is there a new narrative to interact with in advance?"
Worried about missing out, typical of control desire + fear of being left behind.
But honestly, airdrops are the easiest to be front-run: you work hard to click around, and then they quietly change fees/rules/ snapshot criteria, eating up your gas and slippage.
My current approach is to be a bit slower: first check if the protocol frequently changes parameters, whether there are contradictions in the context, and immediately screenshot and archive if the fee structure changes.
Control the number of interactions and budget; stop if it exceeds, even if I miss out.
Anyway, when FOMO is high, the best thing to do is close the page and go drink water…
For now, that’s it.
