I just got itchy again and wanted to chase the rally—the mouse was almost clicking on its own… So I stopped for two seconds and asked myself: do I have new information, or am I being pushed by emotions into adding more positions? To be blunt, most of the time it’s the latter. Especially when I see people screenshotting how they “caught another leg,” I feel jealous, even a bit envious—but I have to admit: this isn’t a signal. It’s FOMO banging on the pot.

Recently, in the group, talk about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and all kinds of “de-anchoring” rumors gets forwarded over and over. The more I scroll, the more panicked I get; the more panicked I get, the more I want to use my positions to find a sense of safety. Anyway, my current clumsy method is: if there’s really new information, I write down three lines—if I can’t write anything down, then it’s just emotions. I’ll go take a quick look at whether the funding rate/implied volatility looks like a burnt breakfast—if it’s too hot, don’t rush to swallow. For now, I’ll do it like that.
