Lately I've started looking into airdrop interactions again, and I feel like the hardest part isn't clicking the buttons, but maintaining the right mindset: being afraid of missing out and clicking randomly, only to end up getting rekt and blaming myself. My approach is pretty simple—first ask myself, "What exactly am I verifying?" If it's just to leave a trace of my address, then I’d rather do fewer steps, split the funds into smaller parts, avoid long-term approvals if possible, and after interacting, quickly revoke any unnecessary permissions to prevent being drained someday.
Recently, everyone has been comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products. I find it quite engaging, but the more "seems more stable" narratives there are, the easier it is to let your guard down... Anyway, I’d rather miss out now than hand over all my wallet permissions just for a few extra returns. Staring at on-chain data for a long time really strains my eyes, my neck gets stiff, and I feel like it’s not the market torturing me, but myself battling FOMO. That’s all for now, taking a break.
