Lately I've been thinking about how interest rates affect positions. Basically, when the risk-free return outside rises, everyone's patience shortens, and the on-chain "go all in first, ask questions later" risk appetite will fade very quickly. I personally prefer to do it in batches, with positions flowing in and out like tides, rather than firing all my bullets at once.
Airdrop season is also quite interesting now. Task platforms are becoming increasingly strict with anti-witch-hunting measures, implementing a points system. The grab-and-go crowd really feels a bit like clocking in at work... The hype is there, but I see this kind of "busyness" as an emotional indicator: when everyone is busy with tasks and interactions, it reminds me not to fill my positions too full during the hype. Anyway, I’ll stick to discipline first, and let the tide tell me the direction.
