I muted the group, and my ears finally got some peace, only to realize that I was previously being pushed around by all kinds of "bottom-fishing opportunities." When liquidity dries up, slippage can wake you up, and the bridge isn't necessarily smooth, so forget about any grand plans—just survive first: reduce positions, spread across a few common L2s, leave enough gas, and don't hard commit to unfamiliar contracts.
Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have become popular again. I ignore the narratives as noise; for those truly interacting on-chain, I check permissions, see if I can revoke, and look for any strange approvals. Anyway, now I prefer to go slower, make fewer trades, and at least be able to track each one clearly. That's all for now.
