Recently, people have been chatting about airdrop interactions again, so I treat it like a collage: don’t think of every project as a “must-have bright highlight,” or you’ll easily get caught in being played (anti-play/anti-scheme) — meaning the fees, the time, and that final “Thanks for participating” page.
Back when I was new, I misunderstood it as: the more interactions and the more diligent you are, the bigger the airdrop. Now I understand it differently: first look at the rules and the costs. If you can do “effective actions” at low cost, do them; for expensive chains and gimmicks, I’d rather leave them empty—treat them as blank space.
With the rate-cut expectations, the U.S. dollar index, and this wave of up-and-down movements that move together and then break apart, my emotions switch faster than I can change my color palette… So my positions are small now, and I interact in batches. When there comes a day I don’t want to watch the market anymore, I won’t feel bad about it.
Anyway, don’t get pulled into FOMO just to avoid missing out.
