Just got a little itchy again and wanted to chase a candle. I opened up the on-chain data, looked at it twice, and realized I don’t really “understand it”—I just don’t want to miss out... No more pretending: when emotions push your position, it’s easiest to drop the process. Now I’ve set myself a very mechanical check: what did I learn in this wave? Can I verify it? Have I worked out the fees/slippage/the risk of getting trapped by a squeeze? If I can’t answer, I won’t add.

Recently, the airdrop season has also been messing with my mindset. The task platform’s anti-bot/anti-sybil measures make everyone feel like they’re clocking in at work. Once points dip, people panic—then they want to use trading to regain a sense of presence. Anyway, I’d rather go slower: set limit orders properly, enable a bit of MEV protection, let the scripts handle execution, and don’t let the human brain get carried away. That’s it for now.
