Lately I've been interacting with airdrops again. To be honest, I'm quite disciplined now: first, see where the project’s funds come from and where they go; I won't chase after projects with a muddled treasury. Don't get too eager with interactions either—use a secondary account if possible, don't authorize everything with one click, and after completing the transaction, quickly revoke the allowance. Don't treat your wallet like a "public toilet" just to save two steps.
What I fear most isn't losing money, but losing control—losing money can be reviewed, but if someone drains your permissions, that’s when I can't sleep.
Also, these days there's a lot of heated debate about privacy coins, mixing, and compliance. I don't take sides, but some interaction paths are too closely linked, making future explanations costly. Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than have unclear origins on my ledger. Treat FOMO as an alarm clock—pause for ten minutes before confirming. That’s how I do it for now.
