In the past two months, people have again asked me whether I should aggressively farm airdrops. Honestly, what I’m more afraid of now is getting reverse-scammed. After the third time an “interactive task” lured me into an unfamiliar contract, I learned my lesson: I’d rather do a bit less than turn my main wallet into an experiment. With small amounts, an isolated wallet, and permissions that can be avoided—if I don’t have to approve them, I won’t. And once I’m done, I’ll clear the authorizations one by one. Anyway, the cost is just like paying for peace of mind.
FOMO is really hardest to deal with—the urge to get itchy just from watching other people’s screenshots. My current standard is pretty plain: are there real users actually using it, not those pulled in by subsidies; and only if it can still keep people after the narrative fades, then I’ll consider spending a bit more time. The whole blockchain-game loop—inflation + studios + a spiral of coin prices—last week I even saw a similar replay. It’s lively, sure, but I’ll just treat it like I’m passing by to watch the show… That’s it for now.
