Scrolled through another batch of meme trending lists, my hand already wanting to click in and rush in, but I first drew the stop-loss line... Can't go without it, the excitement is coming, and the first to be educated are usually guys like me, the "interns." Honestly, the more smooth the narrative sounds, the easier it is to forget that it can cut off power at any time, especially those that are pulled up with a single line—when they fall, they don’t play fair.
Recently, AI Agents, automated trading, these also tell pretty good stories, just press a button and it’s “fully automated on-chain interaction,” sounds worry-free, but actually it’s the easiest way to make people lose: I can’t tell who’s hyping the narrative, but I can see who’s playing with safety—giving too many permissions, not understanding the contract, not revoking authorizations, and the liquidity interns who exit are directly promoted to “donors.”
Anyway, my current stop-loss rules are just two: if it skyrockets ridiculously, cut some first; on-chain permissions are a mess, I don’t touch them at all. Whether I make money or not is another story, at least don’t be the last one to catch the bag. That’s it for now.
