The third time the group got spammed with a bunch of “major positive catalysts” and “we’re about to take off” posts, it made my hands itch… After I calmed down and thought it through, the truth is this: in this whole “impulse buying” thing, whether it’s the group chat or the KOL chatter, at most it’s just handing out daggers—because the only person who actually ends up paying real money is me myself. Whenever a KOL throws out an opinion, and the group mindlessly parrots it, and in the end it turns into “I guess everyone’s buying,” that kind of atmosphere is the most dangerous.

Recently, haven’t people also been complaining about miners/validators’ income, MEV, and ordering fairness? I’m fed up with it too. They shout about fairness with one hand, while with the other they race to use tools the moment they get the chance—so retail investors can only get swept up emotionally. Anyway, my rules right now are kind of old-fashioned: when I see the hype, I mute the group for half an hour first. If I can hold myself back from clicking the trade button, then I count it as a win. That’s it for now.
