The third time being "macro" educated: when interest rates rise, the market's courage really shrinks... To put it simply, it's not that everyone suddenly loses faith, but cash becomes more attractive, and fewer people are willing to bear the volatility. I now tend to split my positions into smaller pieces; when risk appetite is low, I prefer to earn less rather than have a single needle poke through the entire portfolio.

Recently, I've seen a bunch of narratives about AI Agents + automated trading, hyped up quite a bit, but I'm more concerned about how they sign transactions, how much authority they have, and who takes the blame if something goes wrong. When it comes to on-chain interactions, those who focus on security may seem uncool, but they tend to last longer. Anyway, before adding to my position now, I ask myself: if this money is "sucked away" by interest rates, can I still hold on?
