These days, I've been caught up in the attention economy again.
Whenever a hot topic shifts, I get itchy to jump in.
After finishing A, I go and latch onto B, ending up like I'm working for the market...
Honestly, it's not that I don't understand; I'm just afraid of missing out.
Compared to US Treasury yields and those "yield products" on the blockchain,
the more I look, the more I feel like I'm buying emotions, not logic.
I've set a personal rule now:
When a hot topic just starts trending, I won't touch it immediately.
At least wait until I understand "how much loss I can accept" before acting.
Add to my position little by little; if I miss out, so be it.
Anyway, I tend to buy high and then see it drop, using it as a talisman.
Staring at the screen until my eyes hurt and my neck stiffens,
reminds me that I should step away from the screen...
Otherwise, the next move is probably one I make myself.
