Recently, airdrops have become popular again. I feel a bit itchy but afraid of being exploited. Others think I’m a “researcher” because I’m always rushing to interact, but actually I just get anxious when I see the group shouting to get on the train, then I click a couple of times and regret it. Now I’ve set a rule for myself: I’d rather do a few less, than touch those that require a bunch of approvals first and make you send assets to unfamiliar contracts. If I really want to try, I’ll use a new wallet + small amount, and immediately revoke the permissions afterward, to avoid waking up one day with an empty wallet.
Additionally, the privacy coin/mixer topic is quite heated in the group. I can’t clearly define the boundary of compliance either. Anyway, I’m now more inclined not to engage in gray-area operations just for a “possible airdrop.” It’s tempting, but it’s really risky… FOMO is FOMO, missing out is just missing out.
