Lately I’ve been feeling a bit itchy and wanting to chase again—my head keeps shouting, “If I don’t buy now, it’ll be gone”… So I force myself to pause first: am I seeing new information, or is emotion driving me to add to my position? Honestly, emotions are the best at disguising themselves as “opportunities.”

The recent pile of back-and-forth about NFT royalties looks a lot like this too. One side says they want to nurture creators, while the other complains it harms secondary liquidity. By the end, I just feel this: other people’s stances aren’t reasons for my own position. Stop, stop and watch, stop scrolling—wait until my heartbeat calms down before deciding whether to water or not. If you water succulents too much, they’ll rot at the roots.
