Last night I paid my tuition again... I originally wanted to chase a move on-chain, but I was too optimistic about slippage, and I didn’t look carefully at the pool depth. I split the order into two transactions and tried to be clever, but just a few seconds of shifting attention, and the transaction price drifted away. To put it plainly, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s that I placed my order too hastily, following the hype. Especially these past two days, with meme + celebrity shoutouts wave after wave, newcomers are rushing in fiercely, and veteran traders are warning “Don’t take the last step” — it’s not just for show.

Looking back, there’s only one word: stop. Stop scrolling through trending searches, stop staring at the candlestick charts, first stop to clearly see the depth, transaction distribution, and estimated slippage, then decide whether to go in. Data can be wrong, but at least it’s more reliable than emotions; I will also make mistakes, so I should slow down even more.
