Lately I've been looking at on-chain sentiment again, and it really feels like attention is the most expensive fuel. When a hot topic shifts, the timeline just gets pulled along, and the biggest mistake I make is: just when I understand a narrative, the next wave hits, and I get itchy to chase, ending up not losing money on the price but getting repeatedly harvested by emotions.
My current simple approach is: when it's hot, don't touch it first, just remember three things—who's talking, where the money is coming from, and what retail investors are afraid of or greedy for. If it matches, observe; if not, treat it as noise. To put it plainly, don’t take “I also need to participate” as a basis for judgment.
By the way, hardware wallets are out of stock, and phishing links are still rampant… This situation more clearly shows that people aren’t lacking tools, but patience. I don’t pretend to be an expert on security either—anyway, don’t click unfamiliar links, don’t move your seed phrases, and if you don’t understand the signatures, don’t sign—better to miss out.
I don’t need to be understood, but I must keep my boundaries: not chasing hot topics isn’t arrogance, it’s just wanting to avoid getting cut a few more times—so for now, that’s it.
