Recently, I’ve been doing airdrop tasks again, and the more I look at it, the more I feel: I mistake simplicity for a trap. Those “one-click interaction / done in three minutes” ones are often just the starting point for anti-snipe… It’s not that they can’t be done, but I now prefer to think carefully first: what costs am I willing to pay for this project (gas, time, privacy), and what’s the worst-case scenario. If I can handle it, I’ll do it two or three times; don’t get caught up and stay up all night.
And don’t FOMO too much, especially when I see in the group saying “if you don’t interact now, it’s gone,” I usually turn off group messages first, then check the next day, and my emotions calm down. Recently, on-chain discussions have been about validator income, MEV, and fair ordering—basically, you might not get a spot in line, even if you’re quick, you could get squeezed out, retail investors are having a tough time… Anyway, I’m now more of a Zen approach: small amounts, diversified, keep evidence, if I lose, it’s just tuition—let’s leave it at that.
