Every time I see one of those “three-step anti-scam airdrop” tutorials, my finger can’t help but want to tap in. Even though I know it’s probably just another anti-scam trap and I’ll likely get played, what if I’m wrong… In plain terms, it’s still the fear of missing out—especially with all the recent uproar over royalties. Creators are all hunting for new ways out, and I can’t shake the feeling that something new on-chain is about to pop up.

I’ve set a hard rule for myself now: before interacting, I crunch the numbers—gas + time + opportunity cost. If the total adds up to more than 30% of the expected profit, I pass immediately. Even for protocols with sky-high utilization, I’m cautious too. Interest rate spikes are even more disgusting than liquidations. That’s it for now.
