That liquidation threshold for lending... When I’m three steps away from the red line, I usually stop explaining. I put aside macro narratives and project team tweets first, treating my positions like trash sorting: cut what can be cut, pay back what can be paid, don’t wait for the system to do a “painless surgery” for you.
My usual order is: first add some margin to lower my heartbeat, then move the part I’m least willing to sell (to put it plainly, don’t leave your favorites at the explosion point).
Seeing too much on-chain, liquidation isn’t “sudden,” it’s the result of dragging it out.
Recently, I’ve been staking and sharing security, stacking yields, and getting flamed for being a copycat. I can understand that; the yields look pretty tempting, but once volatility amplifies, the red line can really run faster than your reaction…
Anyway, I’m more laid-back; living is more important than face.
That’s all for now.
