These past couple of days, I’ve really been overwhelmed with information. Every time I scroll through the group chat, it’s just: “Quick, look at this—look at that, it’s about to take off.” Even the KOLs hype everything up with one image plus a short caption, totally cranking up the emotions. To be blunt, the people who impulse-buy are still the ones doing it—but what I’m more annoyed about right now is this: there’s so much information that you don’t even have time to break down and study the protocol, and in the end you can only follow the noise.

Especially when a new L1/L2 releases an incentive and pulls TVL, the group chat immediately turns into a massive “wá-tí-sài” complaint fest… I get it—when old users are treated like liquidity tools, who wouldn’t feel irritated. But the more chaotic it gets, the easier it is to lose your head: when you see the TVL curve, you get an itch to act, and you forget to ask one thing—how the data availability and security boundaries are actually put together.

My partner is still sitting next to me, mocking me coldly: “You read so many group chat messages every day, and in the end you’re still just pressing buttons based on your instincts?” Fair—she nailed it. Lately, I’ve set rules for myself: any “rush in right now” kind of message, I set it aside for one night first; the next day, I only take a quick look at the on-chain data and the documentation—if I can explain it clearly, then I move. Otherwise, I let it go.
