Recently, I've been flooded with various messages saying "interact a bit and maybe get an airdrop." Honestly, what I fear most now isn't missing out, but being front-run and having my mindset blown up in the process. My approach is pretty simple: only choose protocols I truly need, small amounts, infrequent interactions, and don’t treat the blockchain as a task checklist just to "boost data"; if you can see the rules clearly, follow them, if not, just forget it and don’t argue with yourself.
Also, don’t get caught up in the atmosphere in the group where extreme funding rates lead to shouting "reversal/continue squeezing the bubble." When things are hot, it’s easiest to slip up and open too many positions or interact recklessly... and end up getting hit from both sides. When FOMO hits, I remind myself: it’s better to earn less than to let a drawdown become tuition fees. That’s how I handle it for now.
