Lately I’ve been seeing so many people discussing airdrops… how to put it, it really is easy to get swept up. I saw a new protocol, did the interaction, and then just waited for the drop—only to end up stuck in a queue for half a day. I refreshed, and it was gone. My mindset basically shattered.
Honestly, what I’m more worried about right now is getting rug-pulled—spending a bunch on gas fees, only for the contract to have issues or be flagged by “anti-sybil/witch detection,” and everything just goes to zero. Anyway, I’m not going to rush in carelessly. I’ll check the audit report first, then browse through community discussions. Once I have a bit more confidence in my head, I’ll move.
When the news about a tax increase in a certain region came out, a lot of people panicked. Once they算 out the costs of deposits and withdrawals, they realized the “tuition” they’d paid earlier was actually even more painful. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but in situations like this, I actually feel like stopping more. Think about what I’m really doing.
That’s it for now—being cautious is never wrong.
