Recently, we've been talking about interest rates again. Basically, it's about whether people dare to take risks. When interest rates are high, putting money aside also yields returns, and market sentiment tends to be more cautious. I prefer to do less fussing, continue dollar-cost averaging but slow down the pace, and keep the positions more balanced, rather than going all in when things heat up.
Conversely, once everyone starts to think "risk is acceptable," crypto tends to react quickly. When prices rise, people get overly excited, and when there's a pullback, they start looking for reasons. My current approach is: after a big rise, do a slight rebalancing, moving some funds back to the stable side; when prices fall, I don't rush to buy the dip, I first check if I'm acting out of anxiety.
And then there are those screenshots in the group about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and the "de-anchoring" rumors, which pop up frequently... Every time I see them, I pause first and ask myself: do these messages really affect my long-term holdings? Most of the time, it's just emotional noise—don't get carried away. That's it for now.
