These past two days, I’ve been bombarded again by group messages until my head feels like it’s going to explode. Phrases like “Unlock is coming” and “Selling pressure alert,” plus a few screenshots of an unlock calendar—just like that, the atmosphere turns tense. Sometimes I get restless too, click into the candlestick chart and take a look, and in my mind I silently complain about how the KOLs are still urging.
But to be blunt, that last step of placing the order is still something I do with my own hand. Groups and KOLs are more like amplifiers: they magnify anxiety and pump up the breathless feeling of “if you don’t move now, you’ll miss it.” My approach is kind of dumb: the moment I see words like “unlock,” I mute for half a day first, then go check the real flows on-chain, and think about whether I truly want to stay in this ecosystem long-term—or whether I just want to bet on a burst of emotion… In the end, nobody else can take the blame for impulsive buying.
