I tried once to buy the dip during a quick liquidity crunch, and the result was placing an order that took half a day to fill, and when it finally did, I got stopped out by a sudden spike piercing through my stop-loss. My mindset completely collapsed. After that, I accepted: survive first, then talk about buying the dip. Don't be stubborn with your position size; take it light when you can. Don't treat perpetual contracts as a belief, especially when funding rates and order books look as fragile as paper.

Right now, I’m doing two things: checking if familiar addresses on L2 are “really adding,” and slowing down my trading pace. Those on-chain tagging tools have been criticized for being laggy and potentially misleading. Honestly, they’re okay as references, but if you treat them as navigation, it’s easy to get lost. Anyway, I’d rather earn less than get caught in illiquid traps as fuel. That’s all for now.
