Lately I've been pondering how this interest rate thing keeps passing on to someone like me with a small position... Basically, it's about whether money is expensive or cheap. When interest rates are high, everyone prefers to hold onto cash/bonds as a "safe" option, and I also become more cautious when watching the market, instinctively shrinking my position, preferring to slowly learn about wallet authorization and smooth bridges rather than rushing recklessly; when interest rates loosen and risk appetite increases, the group’s mood becomes noticeably more excited, on-chain activity heats up, and even I get itchy to add a little more, but I’m afraid a pullback might crush the newbie mentality, so I set a small red line for myself—"the maximum I will add."
And recently, with the testnet incentives and points system, everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens. I also completed a few tasks as practice (to get familiar with signing/revoking authorization), but it feels more like an emotional amplifier: when macro conditions tighten, everyone immediately starts calculating "is it worth it"; when macro conditions loosen, it turns into "just go for it first." Anyway, I’m just paying tuition fees for now. That’s it.
