I used to get pretty excited about farming airdrops too, and when I saw a message in the group saying "Hurry up and interact if you haven't," I’d get itchy; now I basically treat projects like a health check: first look at permissions (can they freely pull your assets, can they upgrade or modify arbitrarily), then look at the logic (are there obvious pitfalls), if it doesn't pass, I accept that I missed it. For interactions, I divide my wallet into layers: the main wallet stays untouched, small new wallets are used specifically for testing, limits are set, authorizations are revoked after use, don’t find it troublesome—being hit once with a re-attack hurts more than confirming multiple times. FOMO, honestly, is just treating probability as certainty… Recently, everyone’s talking about expectations of rate cuts, the dollar index, and risk assets rising and falling together; I prefer to listen to it as noise, don’t lose your safety habits just because macro sentiment heats up. Stay alive first, if there’s an airdrop, great; if not, it’s not a big deal.
