Recently, I’m really been numbed by information overload: there are a bunch of screenshots in the group, a KOL saying, “If you’ve got it, just get in,” and then everyone starts pushing each other to place orders. To put it plainly, the whole thing about impulsively buying—whether it’s group messages or KOLs—is just a spark; in the end, the one who presses the confirm button is still me… But I’ll be even harsher on myself for not following discipline: not reading the whitepaper, not going through the audit, and still wanting to jump in and follow the trend without taking notes—what else should I expect, with my mind in a panic.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve also seen that kind of “macro one-chart” interpretation tying ETF fund flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and crypto price swings together. It looks convincing enough at first glance, but the more I look, the easier it is to start finding reasons for myself. Anyway, my current approach is: treat information as clues, not conclusions; if I really need to act, I also have to be able to restate the logic clearly myself first.
What I fear most isn’t moving slowly—at most, moving slowly just means missing out. It’s getting chaotic—if things turn chaotic, I’ll end up placing bets in places I don’t understand, and then my whole rhythm collapses. For now, that’s it: I’ll turn off group notifications for half a day today.
