Lately, airdrop interactions have become lively again, but I’m basically not chasing the “highest scores” anymore—I’m more worried about getting countered. Gas costs add up, you end up signing a bunch of things, and in the end you may get a single message: “not compliant.” My approach is like tuning an instrument: I turn the risk knob so it doesn’t sound harsh. I only interact with protocols I can understand; if approvals can be minimized, I minimize them; don’t interact too frequently; and keep some cash flow for the things I genuinely want to use long-term.

Do you need to go all-in and spam interactions for airdrops?
I’ll do a bit, but I stop when my stomach starts to tighten—I’d rather miss out than force it.

Also, I’ve heard that in some places taxes/compliance are getting stricter (while others are easing), so my expectations for deposits and withdrawals are a bit more conservative: don’t treat airdrops like salary, and don’t treat “realizable [funds]” as “instantly realizable [funds].” Think through your retreat route before jumping in. After all, FOMO is the most expensive fee.
