The market has looked okay these past couple of days, but that feeling of "no one is taking, and slippage suddenly widens" has returned. When liquidity dries up, trying to bottom fish easily turns into providing an escape route for others. To put it simply, survive first: don't hold a stubborn position, diversify if possible, and keeping some bullets is more comfortable than guessing the bottom.
On-chain is also quite interesting. Validator/miner income fluctuates a lot, MEV and transaction ordering fairness are being criticized by retail investors. It feels like everyone isn't just trading prices, but trading "who saw it first, who ran first." I now treat myself as doing data backups: keep multiple redundancies, better to miss out on some than to put everything in at once. That's it for now.
