These days, I see everyone arguing about miner/validator income, MEV front-running, and whether "ordering is truly fair," basically, attention is being diverted again by new issues. Every time a hot topic shifts, I get itchy to jump in, but it often ends up being the last one to act, and only upon review do I realize it's not that I don't understand, but that I was driven by emotion...

Now I've set a simple rule for myself: the hotter the trending topic, the slower I am. First, I look at who is buying and who is selling on the chain, then ask myself, "How many steps away is this narrative from making money?" If I can't see clearly, I just pretend I didn't see it; missing out is fine, I accept it. Anyway, getting cut once teaches a more valuable lesson. That's how I'll start.
