Just stared at the charts until my eyes felt dry—the order book on that side is so thin it’s like paper. One small sell-off and slippage hits you in the face... When liquidity gets this scarce, don’t rush to yell “buy the dip, buy the dip.” Live through it first, then talk about your dream of becoming a hero. The biggest fear with a small position isn’t missing the rebound—it’s stepping into a hole and getting stuck there.
Recently, people in the group have been complaining again that miners/validators are eating too well, that MEV makes ordering unfair, and that retail investors are “following the beat” as if everything is already arranged. Put simply: you think you’re choosing when to buy and sell, but in reality, the market is pushing you along. So I’ll be straightforward on my end: reduce your position size, set your stop-losses earlier, and if you can use limit orders, don’t get carried away chasing. If you miss it, then miss it—at least your life is still intact, and opportunities will come again.
