Lately, I've been paying more attention to macro news than to candlestick charts... When interest rates tighten, the market's risk appetite drops as if deflating, and my hand naturally shrinks toward "lose less." My octopus position is usually spread out, but honestly, when interest rates are high, my tentacles also automatically retract: I still want to explore new chains and protocols, but it's mostly small amounts in one-time wallets for testing, and if I get wrecked, I’ll just consider it tuition.
AI agents, automated trading—these have been so hot lately, some people hype them up as if they've unlocked cheat codes. I actually care more about how many times they need to sign, how much permission they’re given... The more on-chain interactions there are, the more security vulnerabilities there are. People who focus on security might not seem as glamorous, but they feel more solid. There are plenty of tutorials, but I usually only look at those that clearly explain risk points and authorization details—no need for a bunch of profit screenshots. Anyway, right now I prefer to go slow and stay alive.
