Recently, I've seen a bunch of people praising AI Agents for automatically running on-chain tasks, saving effort and worry. To be honest, automation can do a lot: monitoring pools, comparing quotes, placing batch orders, even helping you write trades, but when something really goes wrong, the safety net still has to be a human. How to grant permissions, whether you can revoke authorization with one click, what exactly the signature is signing, how to stop bleeding if you get phished, who to turn to if cross-chain gets stuck... expecting the Agent to "reflect" on these issues is impossible.

Lately, there's been a heated debate about privacy coins/mixing/legality boundaries, and my attitude is pretty simple: don’t pretend you don’t understand the risks. You can dislike regulation, but don’t mistake “convenience” for “safety,” especially when you’re giving wallet permissions to scripts.

My simple method to prevent impulsive orders: whenever I get the thought of “If I don’t buy now, I’ll miss out,” I force myself to leave the trading interface and go wash my face. When I come back, I first check my positions and maximum loss limits. If I haven’t clearly set a stop-loss, I’m not allowed to click confirm. The problem is mental, sleeping first is more useful than adding to a position.
