This round of hype with Meme, to put it simply, is about the narrative getting an engine on—once emotions spike, cutting losses is treated as “spoiling the fun.” My current habit is: first work out exactly how much I’m down, then decide whether I can still take part—don’t wait for the chart to teach you a lesson. When I enter, I set a hard exit line; once it hits, I leave, even if it keeps flying afterward. At least my account is still intact.

And I get the complaints too—about miner/validator earnings, MEV, and unfair ordering. Sometimes you think you’re trading, but you’re really providing liquidity for someone else. Either way, I’d rather make a little less: slice my position into smaller pieces and exit in batches, instead of pinning my hopes on “this time is different.” Once risk control is in place, my mindset is steadier.
