I’ve been at it again—scrubbing through airdrop interactions. What I fear most isn’t being slow; it’s chaos. When things get messy, it’s easy to get impulsive and authorize something, or add positions at random, only to look back and realize you’ve been “anti-scooped”—basically, hit by the reverse grab.

Now I basically have a few hard lines: for new projects, first test with a clean new account and a small amount of gas. If approvals can be capped, cap them; if not, I’d rather not do it at all.

When I see all kinds of “last few days, quick—go for it” hype, I also pause first and stop—don’t treat these interactions like trading. On the public-opinion side, they’re also trying to force the explanation of price moves by tying ETF fund flows to U.S. stock risk appetite. But honestly, the more you listen, the easier it is to fall into FOMO.

I’ll stick to my own pace, do things in layers, and pull out once I’m done. If I can get something, great—it’s a win. If not, don’t risk your safety chasing it.

Live first, then we’ll talk.
