I got pulled into the airdrop hype again—one moment the group is talking about “the last train,” and the next it’s “you’ll lose out if you don’t do interactions.” The narrative whirlpool really does come right on time… I have just one rule now: I’d rather miss out than get reverse-rugged. Only grant as little authorization as possible. If I can use a new small account, I won’t use the main account. Don’t force interactions just to create that “looks like I’m working hard” kind of trail—if the project team really wants to filter you, it’ll just look like a template. If the fees are acceptable, then do it; once you’re done, revoke the authorization and tidy up your wallet.
As for FOMO… honestly, once the macro discussion heats up—rate-cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets moving up and down together—everyone’s emotions get even more flighty. But the more flighty the emotions are, the more I want to slow down. Stay steady. Don’t get carried away. That’s it.
