These days, I've come across a bunch of discussions about "re-staking/sharing security/compound yields," basically meaning everyone's attention is being pulled by new bridges again. Everyone wants to cross the river faster, but the more bridges are built, the more fee points there are... I've now learned my lesson: during hot rotation periods, I don't rush to chase after them. I treat myself as a "delayed-sensitive user": first look at how many times funds need to cross chains, how many signatures are required, where the single points of risk are. If I can't figure it out, I just watch the fun.
As for "long-term," I don't make it too grand. For me, it's more like a quarter (about three months). That's enough for me to see whether a narrative is just sustained by hype. Being repeatedly liquidated isn't usually due to lack of information; it's because my hands are too quick, and in the heat of the moment, I treat risk as just transaction fees... For now, that's fine. Taking it slow is also pretty good.
