These past two days have brought another round of rotating hot topics. Scrolling through the timeline gets under your skin, but let’s be honest: attention is the most valuable chip. I used to chase after everything— the more afraid I was of missing out, the easier it was to get “educated.” Later, I set a small rule for myself: first, ask, “Am I buying narrative or cash flow right now?” If I can’t answer, I put down my phone and take a couple of steps.
As for on-chain data tools and things like address labels, they’ve recently been criticized for being laggy—and even for being able to mislead people. I kind of relate... When labels change, emotions follow, and that’s pretty dangerous. Now I’d rather look at the “bridge conditions” like delay and fees—whether the funds are really migrating—rather than being led by a few charts. Anyway, it’s not embarrassing to move slowly; at least it’s less likely that I’ll keep getting cut over and over again.
