Lately, monitoring macroeconomics has become a bit exhausting. To be honest, when interest rates go up, everyone prefers to hold onto "certain" assets like cash and government bonds. On-chain, risk appetite immediately shrinks, and positions have to be scaled back. Otherwise, while you're still adding more side dishes, the market has already started to close positions... My current meal strategy still mainly focuses on the staple: stable assets held steadily, earning interest/points slowly, with only small attempts at side dishes. Don't let the candlestick charts sway your emotions. The modular and DA layer development has excited the developers immensely, but many users around me are genuinely confused: what's the actual change when using it? So I prefer to wait until "someone is really using it" before increasing my position.
I'm not regretful about the outcome, but I regret that every time the interest rate trend shifts, I still pretend to be dead and don't adjust my portfolio. For now, that's how it is—staying alive is the most important.
