These days, another wave of hot topics is rotating, and the timeline is making my eyes hurt... The attention economy, in simple terms, is about who can steal your emotions, who can take your positions. Modular blockchain, Layer DA narratives sound pretty advanced, developers are indeed excited, but I, as an ordinary user, mostly feel "confused but afraid of missing out," then I start clicking randomly, and finally get educated by the shadow line.
I'm now trying to do one very simple thing: the hotter the hype, the more I ask myself first, "Am I trading based on logic, or just trading on others' noise?" I don't really trust indicators either; I’m more afraid of my mindset being led astray. If I do participate, I only allocate a small amount, and I prepare exit conditions in advance, rather than changing the script on the spot.
That's it for now. I'm going to clean up my watchlist and also note down the two trades I’m allowed to make this week in my memo.
