My biggest enemy now isn't the market, but multi-chain wallets splitting assets into crumbs like cookies... Arb a little, OP a little, the mainnet still has some old positions hanging around. Every time I want to arbitrage, I first spend ten minutes figuring out "where exactly is my money."
Later, I started adopting a "backup" mindset: not aiming for perfect organization all at once, but first treating the most-used chains as the main directory, and the rest as cold storage, not moving them if unnecessary; every time I cross chains or switch wallets, I immediately write a note saying "Why transfer, where to transfer," otherwise I start doubting myself after a couple of days, thinking I might have been hacked.
Recently, isn't someone watching large on-chain transfers and unusual activity in exchange hot and cold wallets, calling it "smart money"? Basically, a lot of it is internal rebalancing or risk control moves. Instead of speculating, it's better not to lose your assets first.
Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, with clearer paths—impatient people just have to accept it.
That's all for now.
