These past couple of days, the more I look into it, the more it feels like macro arbitrage rates and risk appetiteโonce they filter down to someone like me with a small positionโboils down to one thing: my nerve tightens๐คฃ When rates are a bit higher, everyone loves holding โsaferโ stuff, so things on-chain arenโt as fired up, and I donโt really dare to go all-in and charge recklessly. On the flip side, when the mood runs hot, even I want to add a bitโbut Iโm still afraid of ending up chasing after the last wave.
Just then, that major public chain is scheduled to upgrade/maintain, and the group chat is full of speculation about whether ecosystem projects will โmove.โ To be honest, I canโt really tell who would migrate, so Iโll treat my position as a โbackupโ: keep some stablecoins as a cold backup, keep the main coins as a hot backupโso if something weird really happens, at least I wonโt end up taking a single all-in hit and getting wiped outโฆ For now, thatโs the plan. Learning slowly.
