Just saw a brother asking whether they should go in for airdrop interactions. My take is: a lot of L2 and re-staking airdrops have gotten so competitive. Instead of endlessly generating accounts and worrying about getting back-scammed, it’s better to think—do you actually need that protocol? Anyway, I feel like not every interaction is guaranteed profit; sometimes being a step late means real money chasing the top.
Recently, those meme coins that celebrities have been shilling—old players privately have been telling newcomers not to grab the last spot. Basically, it’s because attention rotates too fast. When you rush in, you’re likely just handing other people the chips.
For me right now, I’m only choosing one or two products with real demand (like cross-chain bridges or derivatives DEXs), doing small batches of interactions. The rest I treat as backup—like setting up multiple wallet addresses and keeping some redundancy on-chain. Not to farm rewards, but so that if one day the mainnet goes haywire or gets hacked, there’s still a way out.
Don’t be too FOMO. That’s my approach for now. What about you?
