This attention economy really turns people into spinning tops—once a hot topic changes, everyone gets an itch to chase it. After you chase it, you realize you’re just being asked to raise the banner for someone else.

The airdrop season is even more absurd. The task platforms, cracking down on bot activity, end up piling on a bunch of rules. The moment a points system rolls out, the “hair-pulling” crowd—people who come to farm rewards—gets in full overdrive, like showing up for attendance at work and working harder and harder. Put plainly, your time and emotions get squeezed dry.

My approach is painfully old-fashioned: if you can’t make sense of it, don’t touch it. Keep your position so small that even if you’re wrong, it won’t affect your sleep. Set your stop-loss and don’t keep telling yourself, “Just wait a little longer.”

I’m more like a goalkeeper than a front-line attacker. I’d rather earn a little less than end up as Exit Liquidity. That’s it for now.
