The recent interaction costs have been getting higher and higher—it’s really a bit exhausting. I started out trying to farm an air drop for some easy profit, but somehow I ended up turning into “anti-farming.” The testnet was fine, but once the mainnet went live, the gas fees burned and I just ended up wasting time.

Sometimes I see other people posting their screenshots and it makes me itch, but when I think about the money I’ve lost, I hold back again.

On the macro side, recently the tug-of-war between rate-cut expectations and the U.S. dollar index has been making risk assets jump around as well. Anyway, I’m not daring to chase with a heavy position. For interaction, you still need to pick something reliable—don’t put all your capital in just for a tiny air drop.

Honestly, I’m a bit down, but not completely hopeless. At least I can still learn some on-chain knowledge—knowing which projects are “painting a pie” and which ones are actually doing the work. That’s all for now. Take it slow and don’t let FOMO get the better of you.
