Just finished checking the mining pool data, and then the Gas fee jumped again—looks like another wave of “airdrop interaction” hype. To be honest, whenever I see a big Gas fee, I go into reflex mode—not because I’m heartbroken about the money, but because I’m afraid I’ll get tempted by my own impulse and follow along. I’m the type who, once I see others getting the “meat,” can’t help wanting a bit of “soup” too, but the lessons I’ve learned from getting burned by my own counter-actions are more frequent than the airdrops themselves (lol).

Now I’ve learned to be smarter: first, I ask myself, “Am I really willing to use this protocol for more than half a year?” If it’s only for boosting points, what’s the difference from chasing an internet celebrity to hit their check-ins? The advice I’ve been hearing the most lately from old players is not to take the last baton. Celebrity call-outs and Meme rotations—once the hype fades, it really is chaos everywhere. Anyway, my mindset has cooled off. I’d rather spend more time watching the inflation narrative and pay fewer Gas fees; at least my wallet can last a few more days.
