I started recording that little bit of emotion before and after each airdrop interaction: whether I'm afraid of missing out on a big push, or knowing I might get rekt and still feeling itchy to fight back. Writing it down, I realize FOMO is actually quite like that whirlpool in a teacup—watching the excitement, but actually dragging you into fees and authorization traps.
Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have also been quite awkward—on one side, the narrative is hyped up, and on the other, many people give their interaction permissions bigger than a door... I now prefer to go slower, first review the contract and authorization, layer the wallet, and revoke permissions after interaction. When it comes to airdrops, honestly, don’t see “doing more” as a talisman; prioritize “making fewer mistakes” as the baseline. Anyway, I’m just surviving like this.
