Recently, I saw a bunch of people using ETF capital flow and U.S. stock risk appetite to explain crypto price movements, saying it like a formula... It’s starting to annoy me just listening to it, and when emotions run high, it’s easy to slip up.
By the way, I want to complain about governance: many “votes” end up becoming delegated votes, resulting in what seems like a few big players or institutions making decisions for everyone. Who exactly does governance tokens serve? Honestly, they serve to give retail investors a sense of participation. If you don’t delegate, it’s like you have no voice; if you do delegate, it’s like handing over your vote, making the landscape more and more oligarchic.
My current habit to prevent impulsive trading is: when I feel FOMO, I first go get a coconut water, then close the trading interface for 10 minutes, and when I come back, I ask myself, “What happens if I don’t make this trade?” Most of the time, the answer is: nothing much, so I just let it go.
