Paid my tuition again yesterday: I originally wanted to try with a small position, but when I saw the K-line flicker, I rushed to chase, and the slippage hit me hard and woke me up. To be honest, it's not that the market is so bad, but I didn't look at the pool depth; my orders were so thin they were like paper, still using market orders, and with scattered executions, my costs instantly distorted. Later, after reviewing, I realized I lost my rhythm in placing orders: I was eager to buy during pullbacks, and lazy when it was time to split orders.

Recently, the community has been arguing fiercely about privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries. I can understand both sides; the more they argue, the more I dare not take things for granted. The on-chain liquidity combined with regulatory sentiment makes unexpected things happen quite often.

After lowering my expectations, I felt more relaxed: as long as I can execute according to plan, I consider it a win; if I can't, then so be it. I’d rather miss out than let slippage decide for me. That’s all for now.
