Whenever a hot topic comes around and I switch my focus, I tend to get restless—plain and simple, I’m afraid I’m “not keeping up.” When I see others show off their results, I start to wonder if I’m just too slow… and then I end up chasing the storyline, only to realize it’s nothing more than paying a “sentiment premium” for my attention. Lately, the whole fight over privacy coins and mixers—those compliance boundaries—has been getting even louder. And that’s when I remind myself: the louder it is, the more likely it’s just a sentiment-driven market. My dumb but effective method is to ask one question first: will I still be using this a year from now? If I won’t, then fine—better to miss out than to get cut over and over again. For now, that’s it.
