This wave of attention economy is really a bit exhausting, as soon as a hot topic changes, everyone starts chasing after it. I used to be the same, the more anxious I was, the easier I got caught… especially when it comes to trending on-chain, with slippage opening up and routing getting messy, it’s basically like sending food to others. Now I force myself to be a bit slower: first check if the routing is taking a detour, whether the pool is deep enough, don’t go all-in on hot narratives right away. Recently, there’s been debates about miner/validator income, MEV, and fair ordering—honestly, retail investors get squeezed more and naturally complain. I do too, so I try to use more stable timing for placing orders, avoid market orders, and don’t chase those one-minute explosive candles. Anyway, I still believe that confirming a bit slower and taking more time means at least I won’t always be led by the hype.
