I got swept up in the airdrop hype again and circled around for a while—feels like I’m rushing around a crowded market… Plainly speaking, I’m afraid of missing out, and I’m also afraid that after spending half a day doing interactions, I’ll end up getting backfired on—being countered and reversed, then trapped by the scam. So now I’ve set myself a stupidly simple plan: only use a few apps I’m willing to use long-term—don’t force extra steps just to get screenshots. Also, keep wallets separate: don’t let my main holdings get randomly connected to everything. Once the authorization is used up, just revoke it right away, so I don’t wake up one day to find permissions still hanging there.
Lately, Layer2 projects have been arguing with each other about TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies, and it makes my curiosity itch, but the bigger the commotion, the more slowly I move. I’ll first check whether the on-chain activity is just a passing fad and whether funds are just coming in and not really going out. Anyway, when it comes to airdrops, if I can get them, that’s like an extra treat; if I can’t, I won’t end up turning it into something like clocking in for work… That’s it for now.
