Airdrops are getting hot again, and in the group there are a bunch of people running to “interact” in the middle of the night. Basically, they’re afraid of missing out. But what I’m more afraid of is getting anti-rugged: I pay the gas, sign a whole bunch of transactions, and then I get something like a “suspected witch,” and my funds get zeroed out directly… Once the mainnet gets expensive, my mindset completely falls apart, so I basically only pick two or three protocols on L2 that I genuinely will use, then use them here and there every few days—don’t do that kind of ritual where you blast through 50 times in one night.
There are also people who map ETF fund flows to U.S. stock market risk appetite and try to apply the whole set of logic to crypto. It sounds pretty convincing, but for me it’s just one line: don’t let your emotions lead you. Whether you can get an airdrop is a matter of luck—don’t hand over all your wallet permissions just for a “possible future.” Forget it, I won’t talk about FOMO anymore. I’m going for a run; just make sure the chain isn’t congested.
