These past couple of days, I got caught up in the excitement of meme hype again, with the group chat flooding with messages—honestly, emotions can be really contagious. But now I’ve set a “picnic rule” for myself: first, figure out what this narrative is really selling. If it’s just everyone boosting each other’s confidence, then don’t treat it as a long-term logic.

My stop-loss isn’t complicated either; I write it in my notes before entering: the maximum loss I’m willing to accept before I cut, no bargaining with myself. Especially after experiencing stories like cross-chain bridge hacks that instantly wipe out your funds, I realize that the “I can still run in time” illusion is often just that—an illusion.

And about that incident with the oracle’s abnormal quotes—everyone suddenly collectively learned to “wait for confirmation.” I find it pretty useful: when you see a big surge or plunge, pause first, wait for on-chain data and emotions to cool down before deciding. Anyway, missing out on one move won’t kill you.
