Recently, I came across a bunch of airdrop interaction tutorials again, which made me a bit anxious: not participating for fear of missing out, but doing too much feels like I'm just a free tester for projects being exploited... My current workaround is a "backup mindset"—keeping my main wallet as clean as possible, using a small account as a backup for interactions, and also for limits. I prefer less certainty but avoid putting all my emotions into it. AI agents, automated trading, and these narratives are indeed popular, but the more automated they are, the easier it is to lose a sense of security. Honestly, I care more about whether: they are really helping me save effort, or just creating FOMO for me. Anyway, I first check if real people in the community are around, and whether complaints are mainly about permissions/authorization, then decide whether to take action. Moving slowly is fine; being able to sleep well is more important.
