Is an airdrop really rewarding users, or is it rewarding scammers and script kiddies?
I'm now pretty laid-back about interactions: do what you can, but never click on random links just because "there might be an airdrop."
Honestly, first get your wallet layered properly, use a dedicated small account for interactions, and keep your main wallet (the dusty hardware one) only for receiving and cold storage.
Before signing, take a closer look at the domain, permissions, and amounts—don't get blinded by the word "free."
If you really want to go for it, set a limit for yourself: try only two or three projects a week, and if the gas fees are too high, just give up—FOMO can never be fully chased anyway.
Recently, I heard some places are starting to impose taxes again and tighten compliance, and I actually don't want to keep flipping funds back and forth…
When the inflow and outflow become uncertain, it's easiest to get anxious, and then it's even easier to get caught in a scam.
Let's stay steady first; better to take less than to send yourself into a phishing trap.
