These past couple of days, my hands have been a bit itchy again. Seeing the uptrend makes me want to add to my position. But I stopped first and asked myself: am I actually getting new information, or am I just being pushed along by the emotions of the candlestick chart? Put simply, if the information can be written into one sentence, then emotion just leaves me with “fear of missing out.”

Thinking about it later, it’s kind of funny. I usually love breaking my profits down into “subsidies / risk / timeframe,” but this time I’m tempted to break the rule on the spot. Especially now, a lot of new L1/L2s are starting to roll out incentives to attract TVL. Old users are complaining on the one hand about “mining then selling,” yet they still get dazzled by the high APYs…

As for me, I’m holding myself back: if I don’t understand where the yield comes from, I won’t touch it. If I really decide to participate, I’ll only use a small position—treat it like paying tuition. In any case, don’t let emotions manage my position-taking.
