These past two days, more and more people have been watching large on-chain transfers; whenever exchange hot and cold wallets move, they start shouting, “Smart money is coming.” I’ve got to say it feels a lot like weather forecasting: once dark clouds roll in, everyone starts grabbing for umbrellas… and the whole “airdrop” thing is even easier to get led by the nose.
Anyway, right now I only have two rules for interacting: don’t hard-chase the hype just to get a screenshot, and don’t save a bit on transaction fees by cutting your sense of security down to nothing. Before every signature, pause for two seconds and think clearly: “What exactly am I authorizing?” If I can use a secondary account, I use a secondary account; if I can reduce the allowance, I reduce the allowance. And when I see tasks suddenly get ramped up or when Gas suddenly explodes, I treat it like a passing rain shower—I just dodge it.
To put it plainly: less FOMO might mean fewer airdrops, but it also means fewer tuition fees paid to getting rekt. I’m just someone who gets sleepy at night watching K-line charts. That’s all for now.
