Lately, it feels like there’s been a real overload of information—every time I scroll the group chat, it’s all “I’m about to take off,” and the KOLs take turns jumping on stage, making everyone’s fingers itch. But if you strip it down to brass tacks, impulsively placing an order is something no one else can actually foot the bill for—you might get, at most, an emotional entry point… especially that on-chain stuff, like MEV and sorting/ordering—no matter how much retail traders complain about who’s getting the better deal, it still won’t automatically turn into your risk control.

I’m more concerned now with the most boring things: whether permissions are essentially a one-key-take-all situation, whether you can upgrade them however you like, and whether the oracle’s price feeds are reliable. The hype fades as soon as you listen—because the pitfall is one you jump into yourself.

What I don’t regret is that every time I’m about to follow the crowd, I turn off my wallet for ten minutes first, calm down, and then take another look at the contract permissions. Besides, waiting a bit longer won’t kill me.
