The more wallets you fill and the more fragmented the chains become, are you really “managing assets,” or just creating trouble for yourself? At least that’s how I feel—I’ve been worn out by the hassle. Later, I realized one thing: don’t chase the idea of “everything in one place.” First, distinguish the purpose.
I keep it simple and a bit blunt with three layers: a “main bag” holds long-term assets that I try not to touch; an “operations bag” is for farming airdrops and doing DeFi—if something goes wrong, consider it tuition; and a “bag dedicated to unknown links.” When I see a new project and it asks for signature authorization, I send everything there—once the authorization is used up, I clear it out immediately. I don’t force cross-chain either. If it can be handled on the same chain, don’t move it—save on fees and mental effort.
Recently, I’ve been a little tired of that whole “attention-as-mining” setup from social mining and fan tokens. To be blunt, attention is also an asset, but it’s the most fragmented and the hardest to reconcile… So I’d rather keep those asset fragments “locked in a cage.” Let them be fragmented, but don’t let my own mind get shattered too.
