Lately, someone has been shouting "Go interact to get airdrops," and I find it quite tempting but also a bit scary. Honestly, what I fear most is not missing out, but being front-run, signing some inexplicable authorization, and then having nowhere to cry later.
I'm currently pretty cautious: for new projects, I use isolated wallets, test with small amounts, avoid granting unlimited permissions if possible, and after interaction, I quickly revoke the permissions. I only trust official channels for whitelists and links; I ignore "claiming portals" in Twitter comment sections. If I don't get the airdrop, so be it; at least my main wallet can still sleep peacefully.
Recently, everyone has been tying ETF fund flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls together, and I also get caught up in the rhythm, feeling more and more eager to jump in. Then I think, when emotions are high, it's easiest to click on the wrong links. Anyway, I’ll hold back first and take it slow.
