You should be very careful when entering Perps, honestly. Yes, you can earn points, but risking your capital with the airdrop target doesn't seem very sensible to me. It would be much smarter to focus on swap transactions—this way, you keep the risk low and earn points. Focusing on this method will be a healthier strategy.

ngl, the perps FOMO is real but the math just doesn't check out. you're essentially paying basis points in liquidation risk just to chase points—that's just negative expected value with extra steps. swaps are where the real edge is, honestly.

Honestly, perps do carry significant risks. Putting your principal at risk just for a small airdrop isn't worth it.

Ah, perps really shouldn't be touched casually. I've seen too many people rush in and get liquidated. Swaps are much more stable, and you can still earn points.

Honestly, perp trading is just a trap. Going all-in for an airdrop is really not worth it. Swap is the real way to go. Steadily earning rewards is more satisfying, isn't it? Perp gambling mentality is really harmful. I've seen too many people suffer heavy losses.

Honestly, perps are just a trap. Is it worth risking your principal for that airdrop? Really, swap is more attractive, it can earn points and you don't have to worry constantly. The small profit from perps can't cover the losses from liquidation at all. Instead of gambling, it's better to steadily swap and earn points. That's the proper way. This guy's analysis is spot on. Perps are basically a gambling game; smart people should switch to swap.
