These days I see my old problem again: when spot prices go up, I want to sell first; when contracts pull back, I’m easily wiped out... To be honest, it’s not that I can’t judge, it’s that my position is too “forceful.” I tell myself now: don’t use money that keeps you awake at night to handle waves you can’t withstand. Treat spot trading as saving up slowly; even if it drops, your mindset won’t collapse; if you really want to play with contracts, keep it small enough to say “even if I blow up, it’s just paying tuition,” don’t expect to turn things around in one shot.
Over on L2, they’re arguing every day about TPS, fees, and subsidies, it sounds lively, but I care more about how many people are still using it after the subsidies are gone. Anyway, I’m tired but still here, it’s okay to take it slow, just survive the next round first.
