I just got forced in by the red dot on my phone, and it turned out to be a whole pile of screenshots of “Has it reversed or not?” Basically, this is how the attention economy works—hot topics rotate faster than my home router reboots; once you chase after them, you end up following someone else’s pre-set rhythm.

I recently set myself a simple, down-to-earth rule: as soon as the funding rate for spot/derivatives starts getting extreme, the more heated the arguments are in the group, the more I slow down by half a beat—I look first to see whether there’s “real turnover” in the trades and the order book; don’t just get fixated on the emotion behind a few candlesticks. A lot of the time, it’s not the market deceiving you—it's the notifications and pop-ups tricking your fingers into placing orders.

Anyway, I’d rather miss out on a segment than keep paying tuition over and over in the same narrative… the slippage caused by poor execution quality—sleep on it and you’ll wake up with it turning into a tuition-fee receipt. That’s it for now.
