Lately, getting involved in airdrops is really… on one hand I’m afraid of getting front-run or being “anti-snubbed,” and on the other hand I’m afraid of missing out. My method is pretty plain: first, find out who is actually driving the project and who is holding it back—see whether anyone in the Discord/governance channels is seriously answering questions, don’t just admire how nicely the “task list” is laid out. Then I only use a small account plus a fixed budget; if I can finish it in one go, I won’t split it into a dozen-plus tries to make myself seen—having too many on-chain traces that look overly deliberate is also easy to backfire. On the spot/derivatives side, the funding rates are also extreme; whether the group is arguing about a turnaround or just continuing to squeeze more air into the bubble, I’m not chasing the hype anyway—the fuller my emotions are, the slower I am to react.
What I don’t regret is… I’d rather grab fewer opportunities than feed all my time to anxiety; sleep matters more. That’s it for now.
