Lately, as soon as the hot topic changes, I get a conditioned reflex to rush in. But in ten times, eight times out of ten, I’m led around by attention— and the loss isn’t only money; it’s also your mindset and gas. Now I’ve set a hard rule for myself: if I haven’t figured out the interaction path, I won’t hit “sign.” No matter how hot it is, I’ll wait half a day first to see whether the congestion and the packing order start to “take care of” certain addresses… To put it plainly, if someone really wants to cut you, the first blade is getting you onboard at the most expensive time.

I’ve also seen these narratives about AI Agents and automated trading, but I don’t care who’s hyping it up— I do care about who’s cutting corners on safety: whether permissions are truly unlimited, whether the contract is freshly deployed, whether the interface is full of strange callbacks. If you’re itching to try, test with a small amount— don’t just go all-in right away, and conveniently leave the approvals open until the end of time. I’d rather miss out than pay someone else tuition and a tip again.
