These past couple of days, I’ve been feeling a bit itchy again. When I see a candlestick chart move, I want to add to my position. Then I thought about it: am I actually seeing new information, or am I being pushed along by my emotions? Put simply, if I can’t explain the answer clearly, it’s probably just FOMO flaring up.
Recently, the staking unlocks and the token unlock calendar have been brought up again, and the group is full of “will it dump?” talk. I get anxious too, but I’d rather treat it as a reminder to water or prune: cut back a bit when you need to, keep some dry powder, and don’t go all-in in one shot. There’s also one line of self-discipline: I treat complexity as the enemy— the simpler the strategy, the less likely it is to blow up. That’s it for now.
