Just now, I got the itch and chased a meme again.
At the moment I entered, I already knew there was an 80% chance I was just paying tuition...
To be honest, memes rely on narrative hype, not how pretty the line you drew is, so I set my stop-loss even more "emotionless":
First, think clearly about what I’m actually buying—whether it’s “everyone is talking about it” or “there’s genuine sustained attention.”
Once the hype dies down, on-chain transactions thin out, slippage starts to look ugly, don’t argue with yourself—just cut it.
Recently, these new L1/L2s have started throwing incentives to pull TVL,
Old users complain “mining, selling,” and I can really empathize:
When liquidity heats up, a bunch of routers go wild,
the pool behaviors are weird, like they’re acting out my own.
My simple trick is: don’t place your stop-loss where everyone else does,
prefer to split into two orders;
also keep your position smaller—impulses are fine, but don’t get so caught up that you sell your retreat route.
Anyway, this move mainly cuts my own greed.
