Today I gave myself a "mental version update": stop-loss really feels like a breakup, dragging it out without deleting or blocking, watching the market every day is like repeatedly scrolling through chat logs, the more I look, the more it hurts, and I even casually treat the fees and slippage as "interest." Honestly, admitting defeat earlier is actually more relaxing, at least it prevents bad trades from continuing to cut into me.

Recently, a bunch of stories about AI Agents doing automatic trading and on-chain interactions have started to surface again, and I’ve been tempted too… but just thinking about it makes me annoyed: no matter how good the narrative sounds, if the routing glitches or the pool malfunctions, it’ll still give you a ridiculous fill. Better write the exit mechanism in your mind first, or else you’ll just automate yourself out of the game.
