Lately, airdrops have been heating up again, but I’m basically no longer chasing the “interaction checklist” anymore. It’s easy to get to the point where it feels like I’m just working for the project, and I might even get caught up in a scam. Honestly, I care more about: do I even know how to use this stuff in the first place? If I don’t, but I still click a couple of times just to avoid FOMO, that’s just paying tuition to FOMO.
Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock everywhere, phishing links are flying all over, which instead reminds me: don’t skimp on security. I prefer to manually search for official websites for links, look over permissions more carefully before signing, use a secondary account if possible, and try not to touch the main wallet. Interactions are like sampling at a night market—try a couple of bites, but don’t run off with a plate just because it’s “limited edition,” or you might burn your mouth or have your phone snatched away. Anyway, I’ll just let my emotions settle first, and take it slow.
