Don't get excited every time you see "whale bought again" and want to jump in... My first reaction now is: is he building a position, or opening a counter-position elsewhere to hedge? On-chain it looks like inflow, but it might just be a pocket switch, or market makers/option traders have already locked in the risk, and retail investors jumping in just become the ones carrying the load for others.
Especially recently, AI agents and automated trading have become even more popular, with narratives being hyped up, but no one talks about safety and execution details: you see the same address moving, but behind the scenes it could be bots batching, cross-chain operations, delayed confirmations, and other tricks. After experiencing rollback and block reorgs, I trust "confirmation counts," and I believe in "waiting a bit before drawing conclusions." Anyway, I personally prefer to miss out rather than become fuel for others' hedging positions. That's all for now.
