Honestly, the recent airdrop season and that points-based system really feels like an office attendance punch clock—every day you keep staring at the task panel doing interactions, afraid you’ll be judged as a “witch” and immediately cleared out. I know a guy who, just to keep a certain account, hard-core kept manually clicking through five protocols every single day for three straight months. In the end, after the system update over the weekend, it directly flagged his device as linked and wiped everything to zero.

But I think at times like this, you should actually think about the timing for cutting your losses. Look at those who refuse to sell no matter what—what’s the difference between them and people who refuse to admit their relationship is over? The longer you hold out, the more you lose. It’s better to recognize defeat sooner and save on trading fees. Now the anti-witch measures are so strict they’re basically like a sieve. Some project teams say “fairness” out loud, but behind the scenes they’re hoping to cut down every bot. Us ordinary people just keep grinding along with them, and in the end we’ll most likely end up getting trapped holding worthless air coins.

Anyway, whenever I see on-chain activity that’s too neat and too uniform, I instinctively start to make a run for it.
