Just now I cut out to take a look at my wallet, and when I came back I was back to the access-card status. 😅
Lately, I’ve been watching the discussions in the group, and it feels like everyone is stuck on the same dilemma: should you go for the airdrop or not? If you go for it, you’re afraid of getting reverse-rugged; if you don’t, you’re afraid of missing out. In fact, I’ve been reverse-rugged a few times myself before. Later on, I developed a habit: **use time to buy space**.
I generally don’t rush in on day one just because something is trending. I first look at on-chain activity and the moves of large holders. If the project team themselves can’t even be bothered to act, then I’m not in a hurry either. Instead, it’s when the funding rates get extremely extreme that the group starts debating, “Is it a reversal or are we still squeezing the bubble?” At that point, I usually pause and check whether I’m just in FOMO again.
Put simply, moving slower isn’t a bad thing. **If you have impulsive thoughts before going to sleep, decide again after you wake up.** Anyway, I personally think on-chain data won’t lie, but people’s emotions will. That’s it for now—I’m off.
