Recently, with this wave of liquidity drying up, my first reaction isn't "buy the dip," but rather don't get stuck halfway through. I will still test the bridges, but I will split large orders into smaller ones, leave enough gas, and only use stable routes instead of rushing into new bridges, saving that small fee in case I get stuck once.
Forget it, to put it plainly: first, protect your positions and withdrawal channels, don't go all-in out of excitement.
Additionally, the social mining and fan token schemes that claim "attention is mining," I now see as a bit like using emotions as fuel... While it's lively, the real liquidity isn't there, and the most expensive thing is the exit button.
Anyway, I prioritize cash flow first, and only sleep well when I can.
