Lately, hearing the rumors about interest rates, my mindset has been very straightforward: when money is expensive, my courage automatically shrinks, and my positions tend to pull back... To put it simply, it's not about being bullish or bearish, but whether you can withstand that suffocating feeling of "I dare not add even a little more if it drops a bit more." When risk appetite contracts, volatility becomes more like a tightly wound spring, ready to snap you in the face at any moment.

People like me who know they might lose money but still try are actually more likely to shift their focus to options at this stage, betting less on direction and leaving more room for "I admit I might be wrong." Recently, AI agents and automated trading have become lively again, with on-chain interactions like one-click all-in bets—looks cool but also pretty scary: anyone can tell a story, but no one wants to spend time on security details... Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, open fewer permissions, and save some bullets for when emotions cool down. It's a bit depressing, but I always feel the opportunity will come back, just not at the speed you expect. That's all for now.
