Just now, I got the itch to chase a position again, but I stared at the order page in a daze for half a minute: Did I really get any new information, or was I just being pushed by emotions to add to my position? Honestly, many times "news" is just screenshots of stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and someone trying to de-peg, looping repeatedly— the more it cycles, the more it seems real, and my heart starts to drift along.

I've now set a small brake for myself: first, check if there's a liquidity gap on the chain, whether deposits and withdrawals on the bridge are starting to get stuck, or if a bunch of people are squeezing into the same exit at the same time. If none of these have changed and only my heartbeat speeds up, then it's probably not information, but me chasing excitement. Slow down, anyway slow is truly fast (don't laugh).
