These days, someone is again watching whale address screenshots and trying to copy trades... I will now pause first to clarify whether they are slowly building a position or hedging and repositioning. To put it simply, what you see as "buying" might just be them opening a larger short on the other side, and jumping in blindly could be quite awkward.
Especially recently with the testnet incentives and points, everyone in the group is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens. When emotions run high, it's easier to mistake "activity positions" for "faith positions." My approach is to try small amounts first, look at the chain a few more times, and not go all-in in a rush.
What I fear most isn't missing out on opportunities, but losing control by letting others dictate the rhythm. That's all for now, continuing to stay low profile.
