Over these past two days, group messages have been bombarding me until my head hurts. After I’ve checked the mempool, I still have to check the group again—one KOL says one thing, and the group is full of “buy now, rush in.” My hands start itching. In the end, I actually placed an order. Then when I look back, I ask myself: who should really be paying for my impulsive “rush”? Honestly, it’s still me. The KOL only puts out an opinion, and the group members just egg things on—the one actually pressing the buttons is me. Getting tempted to find someone else to blame when I lose money is a little embarrassing.

Especially recently, when cross-chain bridges have been having trouble again, and after those abnormal quotes from oracles, everyone keeps shouting “wait for confirmation.” It’s kind of surreal: when things are safe, everyone rushes in instantly; when something goes wrong, suddenly everyone turns into some ultra-calm, Zen-like mode. Now I’m forcing myself to wait for two more blocks, not to get carried away by all the noise—stay calm.
