Lately, the screenshots in the group chat about "stablecoins being regulated," "reserve audits having issues," and "de-pegging" have been flooding the chat, making everyone more anxious, and then I get itchy... Basically, this is the attention economy: when you're nervous, others have liquidity. The same applies to NFTs—when a hot topic shifts, the floor price often crashes first not because the project is the worst, but because the weakest hands and those with the thinnest liquidity are the first to sell.

I've now set a rule for myself: when I see a hot topic, I first close the group chat, wait half an hour, then check the actual on-chain inflows and outflows, and the order book depth. Only when I confirm that there are genuine buyers or sellers do I take action. There are many tutorials out there, but I only pay attention to those that clearly explain how to understand the capital flow and teach you how to check data easily. I skip the motivational talks. Most of the times I get liquidated isn't because I lack information, but because my emotions are too full. Halving my emotional state can improve my success rate just a little.
