Lately, watching macro really feels like checking the weather forecast: when interest rates go up, everyone's risk appetite immediately shrinks back, and my octopus positions also retract their tentacles, preferring to hold more stablecoins and avoid chasing those "seems very promising" new pools. Honestly, when money gets expensive, even someone like me who loves trying new protocols doesn't dare to be reckless.

A few days ago, I saw another cross-chain bridge get hacked, and oracles reported outrageous prices, with the group saying "wait for confirmation"... I'm now even more cautious: I use a single wallet for everything, but set strict limits and reminders for myself, so I don't get carried away and add to positions impulsively. Setting it up felt pretty good, like fastening a seatbelt; but after a while, I get itchy and want to raise the limits a bit... Anyway, it's a constant battle with myself. Let's leave it at that for now.
