Today I saw some large transactions on the blockchain, and the group started shouting "Whales are entering the market, follow quickly."
I'm really feeling a bit of PTSD now…
Pause for two seconds and think:
Is this really building a position, or do I already have a position elsewhere, and this is just hedging/arbitrage?
To put it simply, that one transaction you saw might just be a small part of someone’s risk control, and you only realize halfway through that you’re following their umbrella.
By the way, I also checked out the NFT side where they’re arguing about royalties again—creators want to earn more, secondary markets complain about liquidity being blocked.
Everyone has a point, but it’s also pretty frustrating.
Anyway, I’m still the same as always—if I can stake, I stake; I don’t touch complicated nested strategies—
I see simplicity as a trap, and I warn:
The more “seems simple to follow,” the more likely it’s just the side someone wants you to see.
