I’m now watching whale addresses move, and I really hold back from following. To put it plainly, that single transaction you see might be opening a position, or it might be a hedge, arbitrage, or even just moving a position to a different place… If you follow and end up on the hedge leg, it’s pretty awkward. Lately, there’s been another wave of people complaining that validators make money more steadily than anyone else—MEV makes the ordering “if it follows the rules or not,” and when retail jumps in, they get slippage and stare at it with a face full of questions. I don’t dare rush either.
A couple of days ago, I set a reminder plus a limit order for myself, and my mindset changed immediately: I don’t watch the screen nonstop, and I don’t feel that itch. If the signal doesn’t hold steady, I let it pass. Only when it truly hits the price I set do I act. If I’m slow by a beat, I’m slow by a beat—at least I’m not being led around by other people’s on-chain moves. That’s it for now.
