Just now, another meme was flooding the group chat, and I almost had my finger on the buy button, paused for two seconds… Forget it, I’ll think about the stop-loss first. The excitement is there, but narratives are the best at deceiving, especially that “everyone is doing it” kind of atmosphere, and no one will remind you when it crashes back down.
My current habit is pretty boring: first cut the position to a laughably small size, and set a price/condition for “sell if wrong” when entering (like large on-chain whales starting to dump on exchanges, liquidity suddenly drying up, or open interest skyrocketing), and just exit when triggered, no debating with myself. Honestly, I’d rather earn less than be the last one holding the bag and still comfort myself with a “long-term narrative.”
Airdrop season is the same, task platforms are acting like anti-witch hunts, making points and coupons so much that people are exhausted. Anyway, I see suspicious address activity and just withdraw first, then ask—better to miss out than be the lesson. That’s all for now.
