Over the past two days, I’ve started刷ing airdrop interactions again. With my tiny position, I genuinely can’t help itching the moment I see other people showing off their “eligibility”… But anti-scam attempts are just way too common. One line from the project—“witch detected”—and you’ve basically been busy for nothing. To be honest, I only have three rules right now: don’t touch anything unless you’re first going to top up a big amount; don’t use your main account to connect all over the place; and don’t force yourself to push onto a new chain just to complete tasks. With Gas and network fees combined, seriously—don’t treat yourself like a miner working for someone else.
Also, lately I’ve really been feeling the same about that whole thing everyone’s been complaining about: MEV and unfair ordering. Retail users go through a bunch of steps, and in the end your experience gets ruined the moment you get squeezed—so now I’d rather do it fewer times and focus on protocols I can actually understand. Smaller limits, slower pace. If FOMO really hits, I’ll write a stop-loss line first (for example: stop once I’ve lost up to a certain amount), otherwise the more you do it, the more you get carried away. Either way—if you can actually “get something,” that’s just good luck. If you can’t, don’t let them mess with your mindset too.
