Recently, there's been more arguing about interest rates in the group chat. My feelings are quite blunt: when interest rates rise, everyone talks about long-termism, but they immediately shrink their positions. The speed at which risk appetite transmits is faster than on-chain confirmation... To put it simply, it's not about understanding anything; it's about being afraid of ending up as the last bag-holder, the social butterfly who takes the fall. Others think interest rates are just macro news and have little to do with the crypto world; in reality, when they move, leverage trembles first, and sentiment follows the pump. By the way, a quick rant about the modular/DA layer narrative—developers are excited as if it's New Year, while users are confused: you talk about data availability, I only care if my small position can sleep peacefully tonight. Anyway, I currently have two tricks: don't fight it hard, and don't get too caught up. That's all for now.
