Just now, I was spamming the group and got overwhelmed, with a dozen people shouting "The opportunity is here" at the same time. I was about to click buy when I remembered that I tend to act foolishly when I get excited... So I put my phone down on the table and took a two-minute break to calm down.

Honestly, impulsively placing orders is something both group messages and KOLs are pretty good at pushing you toward, but in the end, you still make the decision yourself. The emotions in the group spread quickly, like a snowball rolling downhill, making you feel like "missing out means losing money"; KOLs are more like giving you a seemingly complete reason, turning your "wanting to gamble" into a "logical decision." Especially recently, with the staking, shared security, and compounded yields that people criticize as a copycat scheme, I also feel a bit guilty: the higher the yields stack up, the more blurry the risk-taking underneath seems.

My current clumsy approach is: when I see something I really want to jump into, I check on-chain whether the liquidity is deep enough, whether entering and exiting will be smooth, and if I can clearly explain where the money is coming from... If I can't explain it, I just give up. Earning a little less is better than losing sleep over it. That’s how I’ll do it for now.
