These past couple of days, with the market being dead quiet, I only just realized that the term “bottom fishing” is really kind of luxurious... When liquidity dries up, slippage can grind your mindset into dust. Limit orders can look great on the board, but the moment they actually fill, everything turns bad. Put simply: survive first—don’t force your position size, don’t max out your margin, run through your assets/liabilities that can be verified on-chain first, and if there’s liquidity you can withdraw, withdraw some; don’t get stuck on the other side of the bridge.

Especially lately, I’ve been seeing plots like cross-chain bridges getting hacked, along with oracle systems suddenly going haywire with their quotes, and everyone agreeing to “wait for confirmation” all at once—which is actually pretty realistic. It’s not that people are scared; it’s just that you have no idea whether the next moment will hand you an unexpected blowout. Anyway, I’d rather make a little less now than gamble that the system will behave normally when it’s at its most fragile.

That’s it for now.
