The most obvious feeling from watching the market these days is: when liquidity dries up, the idea of bottom-fishing sounds like a joke. Spreads widen, slippage increases, and orders are so thin they’re like paper. If something really goes wrong, you won’t even be quick enough to “withdraw,” so my current priority is simple: stay alive first, then talk about picking up bargains.

My ability to stay calm mainly relies on a bad habit: I force myself to pause for 10 seconds on any transfer/signature, then double-check the address’s first and last few characters and the authorization details. No matter how urgent, I never break this rule. The crazier the market, the more intense the airdrop season, the more the task platforms’ anti-witch-hunt tactics make people feel like clocking in at work. The less I want to send myself off in the “rush to meet deadlines.” Less movement, fewer authorizations, smaller positions—anyway, opportunities will come again, but life only has one.
