My mom asked me suddenly yesterday: “In your crypto circle, is it just like stock trading—if other people’s ‘fund flows’ run out, you have to run with them?” I froze for a moment and said, kind of. Anyway, with the ETF’s little in-and-out lately, everyone’s emotions get dragged along, same as the US stock market.

Speaking of airdrops, things have been a bit exhausting lately. A lot of projects are clearly running an “anti-scam/rug script”—they make you do a few rounds of interaction, and in the end they only send you a few bucks. I’m really fed up. You have to calculate the gas fees, and you also have to factor in the opportunity cost of time. So now I’ve got just a crude approach: first check whether the protocol has real users—don’t just look at TVL. For fake narratives, I honestly don’t dare chase them anymore.

So, in plain terms, is it all just gambling either way? But I don’t want to be treated like a fool. Keep your mindset steady—act like a user first, don’t think about “farming” right from the start. Otherwise, if your emotions get overheated, they’ll wipe you out right back to zero. Forget it—let’s leave it at that for now.
