Recently, everyone has been talking about sharding and parallel processing again, it sounds quite lively, and I almost got itchy to "trust it a bit"... then I remembered my contrarian indicator nature, so I decided to stay calm first. To be honest, no matter how beautiful the technical narrative is, what I fear most is where the assets are stored, how to withdraw if something goes wrong, whether the exit path is smooth, and not having the chain move quickly while people are slow.
Plus, recently a certain region has been swinging back and forth between increasing taxes and tightening/relaxing compliance, causing expectations for deposits and withdrawals to suddenly change, and market sentiment to go haywire, which easily gets people hyped up.
Why can I stay calm? A simple habit: before each increase in position, I write a sentence: "If I can't withdraw/transfer today, would I still dare to buy?" After writing it, I wait ten minutes. These ten minutes have saved me several times. Controlling position size is really not just some motivational speech; it's a matter of survival.
