When I first started playing, I really thought that watching large transfers on the chain and fluctuations in exchange hot and cold wallets could keep me up to date with "smart money." Seeing a movement would make me itch to chase the hot trend, but often after the excitement, I’d end up buying the top. My current understanding is more like: attention is the fuel, the faster the hot spots rotate, the easier it is to drain people's emotions, and many signals on the chain are just used to tell stories.
Now I set a simple rule for myself: when I see a trending topic, I stay calm for a night first, and if I still want to act the next day, then I consider it; my position size is also based on how well I can sleep. The small gains from stablecoins can be slow, and that’s okay—I don’t want to drive myself into nervous breakdowns over a few K-line candles. Honestly, it’s better to look at "smart money" a few less times, and ask myself, “What happens if I don’t make this trade?” Most of the time, nothing much.
