I've been reviewing again these days: I can't hold onto spot positions, and I keep trying to prove myself with contracts, resulting in either a quick sell-off or a liquidation, which is quite embarrassing. Position management boils down to one thing: don't treat "emotion" as a position, first leave the part you can sleep peacefully with in spot, and only then try contracts with the remaining small portion; otherwise, when the market shakes, your hands will shake even more.
Looking at Layer 2, they’re starting to compare TPS, fees, and subsidies, arguing like they’re fighting for booth space. I’m just watching and thinking: no matter how lively these grand narratives are, they won’t save me from opening too large. Especially when on-chain operations require refreshing/retrying/queuing, it’s easier to get emotional and add to the position… Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less now than wake up in the middle of the night to a liquidation SMS, which would be embarrassing. That’s it for now.
