When there’s a bunch of “Get on the train / hurry up and buy” in the group, my first reaction isn’t to look at the coins—it’s to check whether my hand actually went and clicked the market order… To put it simply, KOLs will of course fan the flames of impulsive buying, but the one really reaching into their pocket is your finger in that moment. Information overload feels like delayed jitter: the more packed the messages are, the worse the execution quality, making slippage more likely and chasing highs easier.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have been pretty popular too. A lot of people are selling the idea of “fully automatic guaranteed wins,” but I’m more afraid of this instead: once the script connects to the wrong contract, hands out permissions recklessly, or treats on-chain interactions as a black box, losses come without hesitation. Anyway, I’ve set some rules for myself: any impulse triggered by group messages / tweets—at least wait for one block before placing an order—first check the order book depth and your own risk exposure… It sounds like obsessive-compulsive behavior, but it can save your life.
