Lately, I’ve been too lazy to scroll through trending searches when watching the market, and I care more about that “thermometer” of interest rates. When interest rates tighten, everyone’s risk appetite shrinks accordingly, and the on-chain activity’s excitement also lags behind, slowly affecting my positions: I’ve set a rule for myself — during macro tightening, I’d rather earn less than pile my holdings into protocols that look lively in TVL but have unclear cash flow. When I get itchy, I draw a couple of on-chain charts to calm down.

By the way, hardware wallets have been out of stock lately, and there are especially many phishing links, indicating that when people get nervous, they tend to click recklessly. I’ve also set a rule for myself: don’t move assets when I’m emotional, don’t sign in pop-up windows, just stick to this — taking it slow is actually safer.
