That was a bit of a false alarm just now: I was about to move a stablecoin to top up collateral, but I accidentally selected a section when copying the address, and the pasted address had the wrong ending. I almost confirmed it... I paused for three seconds, double-checked, and only then realized that if I sent it out, it would basically be paying tuition. When liquidity dries up, honestly, it’s not about who copies accurately, but about who doesn’t make such basic mistakes and can survive to the next round.
Now I care more about two things: keeping the collateral ratio with a sufficient safety margin (don’t sleep at the liquidation line), and when borrowing rates fluctuate, reducing positions first—preferably earning less rather than being forced to sell. Recently, Meme and celebrity shoutouts have heated up again; attention shifts quickly, and newcomers can easily rush in to take the last shot... Anyway, I’ll first clarify my cash flow and exit strategy, and wait for the market to give opportunities before considering bottom-fishing.
