Last night I almost learned a lesson again: when copying the address, I slipped my hand, and two letters at the end were missing. I was already panicking before confirming on the chain... Luckily, it was a small test amount, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to post updates after the third rug pull.
To be honest, I can't hold onto spot holdings because I always want to "make enough in one shot," and I get liquidated on futures because I refuse to give up and add more margin. Now, here’s a plain-language version of my position management: first, assume I will slip up, read things wrong, or be driven by emotions, so every time I enter a position, I must ensure that "even if the stupidest mistake happens, I won't lose sleep over it." If I can do this, I’ve already won half the battle.
Recently, the narratives around AI Agents and automated trading have heated up again. Many people hype it as if it will make money for you, but I care more about what permissions it takes from you and what it signs. Automated interactions do not equal automatic safety... Anyway, I’ll start small, take it slow, and staying alive is the most important.
