Recently, when the market lacks liquidity, it becomes especially obvious: you think you're "bottom fishing," but you're actually paying tuition for slippage and emotions. Frankly, surviving first is much more important than guessing the bottom. Now I’d rather wait for confirmation, wait for a pullback, or even wait until I’ve thought it through before taking action; staying on the sidelines is not shameful.
I can also understand the complaints about on-chain miner/validator income, MEV, and fairness in ordering; retail traders’ orders seem to be seen in advance, and the experience is poor... So I’d rather not race against time when liquidity dries up. Small positions, batching, setting stop-losses, and pulling out if things go wrong—just to keep the next opportunity on the table. After all, chances won’t disappear completely.
