Let’s talk about a pretty practical topic—airdrop interactions. Everyone sees a new project and immediately starts spamming, afraid of missing out on something. But honestly, it feels worse to get “anti-rugged” than to not get the airdrop. You end up burning a bunch on fees and in return you get nothing but air.
This is how I think about it: treat interaction like a kind of practice, not something you do to “beat” the airdrop. Before every move, ask yourself whether you’d actually be willing to hold the project for half a year or even a year. If you’re hesitant, then do it in batches—don’t go all-in at once. That way, even if you don’t end up getting the airdrop, at least the cost is controllable and your mindset stays steady. Since gas fees are expensive now, and some projects’ interactions are even getting sandwiched by MEV—it’s pretty annoying. But anyway, being patient is never wrong.
Transaction psychology is similar too: don’t keep thinking about “beating” the market. First learn how to get along with your own impulses. Practice more—not to win against something, but to make yourself feel better. That’s about it for now.
