These days, someone is talking about re-staking/sharing security again, basically earning yields on yields, but now when I hear the word "stacking," I kind of want to close the page first... When TVL rises, everyone becomes optimistic, but risks also get bundled in, just not as obvious.
The wave of AI agents and automated trading is even more apparent, with on-chain interactions flying all over the place. Is it robots boosting the data or people scrutinizing security? It's hard to say. Anyway, I don't really trust narratives; I trust contract permissions, reduction mechanisms, and who can upgrade with one click—these small details. The more "worry-free" something seems, the less I trust it.
Why am I so calm? A very simple habit: every time I want to chase high yields, I first force myself to screenshot and save my positions, then look at the trades I lost in the past 30 days because I was "almost stable"... after that, I usually don't get impulsive anymore. That's how I do it for now.
