These days, I’ve seen a bunch of hot topics trending again, and I just realized that what I’m most easily exploited by isn’t the projects, but my attention... Refreshing Twitter, refreshing exchanges, feeling like if I don’t keep up, I’ll miss out, and the ones I chase after are often just the moments when others are about to sell. The typical collapse script of blockchain games is also quite classic: when inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, and token prices suddenly spike, the market sentiment is like queuing to squeeze into the subway—if you’re even half a beat slow, you get pushed along.

I’ve now set a simple rule for myself: when I see something “everyone is talking about,” I first try it three times (not clicking a button, but waiting three days), and if I still want to look, I go check on-chain data and cash flow, especially those claiming to tell stories with art/NFT—can they really make money back, or are they just storytelling? Honestly, I enjoy the excitement too, but I don’t want to keep paying for the hype with my wallet anymore. That’s it for now.
