Everyone understands this: in the end, the impulsive buying is still their own confirmation—whether it’s the group chat spamming the feed or the KOL shouting it with all kinds of fancy talk. But when messages pile up, I start to get floaty too—especially when I see something like “It’s about to take off” at midnight. My hand just wants to go click… So now I just hold back all interactions, wait until the low-peak period to do batch actions, and I also give myself some time to cool down: first check whether the chain is getting crowded, whether gas fees have started to rise—if it’s crowded, I won’t chase.

The recent NFT royalty back-and-forth also feels pretty similar. Creators say they want income; the secondary market says it wants liquidity. By the time the argument is over, the floor price moves first anyway, and the people driven by FOMO get harvested first. To put it bluntly, what I’m more afraid of right now is that information overload will grind down my ability to judge. I’d rather do fewer trades than let my emotions push me into “paying tuition” during those most expensive few minutes of congestion.
