These past two days, my mindset feels like I just got a “version update.”
Before, I’d get hooked watching the NFT floor price swing around—now I check first whether that interest-rate “string” is tight or loose.
When rates tighten, everyone’s risk appetite feels like the power has been drained, and my positions automatically switch into a low-power-saving mode; when rates loosen up, I start getting itchy again—wanting to mess around with “avatars” like they’re leverage and try out some “financialization” tricks… In plain terms, emotions move first, and then the money follows.
Also, I happened to see someone complaining again about miners/validators’ income, MEV, and whether the ordering is actually fair—I really relate to that. It feels like the orders I place are just lining up to buy bubble tea, and there’s always someone cutting in front.
Anyway, for now I’m splitting my position into layers. Being able to sleep at night is the most important. That’s where I’m at for now.
