Lately I've been interacting with airdrops again, and it's fake to say I'm not tempted, but I've learned my lesson now: set smaller goals, and I can stick with it longer.
Before, I would get excited and want "everything," stacking all kinds of chains and tasks together, but the result was exploding fees, time, and mental stress, and it was easy to get caught in projects that just flip the script and change rules, feeling pretty powerless.
Now I follow the same review process: first check if the trading volume and activity are real (not just fake), then look at contract permissions and fund flows, and if something feels off, I just give up.
Especially recently, with cross-chain bridges having issues and oracle errors, everyone is "waiting for confirmation," and I’ve slowed down too—prefer to interact fewer times rather than rush and risk losing assets on the bridge...
Anyway, I don’t rely on intuition to open positions, and I try not to rely on intuition to farm profits either.
That’s how I’ll do it for now.
