Lately I keep hearing words like "data availability / ordering / finality," which sound like exam topics, but actually you just need to follow one main thread: whether my money has been "truly recorded," and in case something happens, whether I can retrieve the records. Data availability = the ledger isn't hiding anything; ordering = who comes first and who comes later, don't get jumped; finality = this transaction shouldn't be changed again in a couple of days. Basically, it's like farming—you need a water source, a queue to water, and finally, don't let someone pull the plug in the middle of the night.
Recently, the staking unlocks and token unlock calendar are being pulled out every day to scare people, and the anxiety about selling pressure really affects emotions... My current habit is: start with small amounts in new pools, wait until on-chain blocks/confirmations show stable performance, bridges and contracts have no "bug points," then gradually add more. I don't rely on the talent of going all-in at once, but on repeated processes. That's it for now—avoiding pitfalls is how you make money.
