When it comes to lending and borrowing, it seems pretty stable most of the time, but when the liquidation line is just three steps away, your heartbeat immediately speeds up.
I usually don't wait until the "last step" to put out the fire; I do three small things first: tighten up my positions, pay back what I can and then some;
then move some collateral into more solid assets (don't rely solely on the hope that volatility will stay low);
finally, turn on all the alerts, keep your phone unmuted, and don't try to act calm and composed.
Recently, during the airdrop season, task platforms have been anti-witchcraft and implementing point systems,
the yield farmers are competing like clocking in at work, and I feel the group's mood is very similar to that pre-liquidation "just a little more, hang in there"...
Anyway, I no longer believe in the story that "as long as you hold on, you'll come back," at least in lending, holding on doesn't mean winning;
most of the time, it's just delaying.
For now, that's it. Next song on the radio: Living is the most important.
