Lately, someone has been shouting about the "last wave of airdrops," and I find it a bit exhausting to watch... Honestly, it's not about missing out; it's about a chaotic interaction that feeds your address to various phishing sites, only to get hit back later. My approach has always been slow: keep the main wallet untouched, open a separate small account for interactions, and give it just enough quota to use. Before signing, I always check what permissions are involved, and if I can avoid granting unlimited access, I do. If I really want to push, I only pick two or three protocols I understand and that might survive long-term infrastructure. Don’t treat interactions like grinding a dungeon. Looking at the NFT royalty disputes, it’s quite similar—creators want income, secondary markets want liquidity, and in the end, the pressure often falls on ordinary users, with rules changing passively. Anyway, I’d rather take less than lose my mind; take it slow, and first focus on security and maintaining a steady pace.
