I tried once: whenever a hot topic changed, I would turn off all my phone notifications, leaving only two or three old forums and on-chain dashboards, forcing myself to check only at fixed times each day... Basically, I wouldn't let my attention be pulled around by others.
Those days, everyone was just arguing about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and how risk assets were moving together up and down again. I was tempted too, but I only did two things: check if the market sentiment was a herd mentality, and see if there was "real" active capital on the chain.
If I didn't see these two signals, I would pretend I didn't see anything, even if it meant missing out.
As a result, I avoided that feeling of chasing hot topics into the market and then realizing the next day that I had become liquidity.
Anyway, my current principle is very simple: first protect your attention, then talk about opportunities.
