I just got a little itchy again and wanted to chase a trade, so I stopped and asked myself: what new information did I actually get, or am I just feeling itchy watching others shout “to the moon”? Put simply, information can explain “why to buy now,” while emotions only push you to “get in quickly.” I used to treat FOMO as being fast to react, but now I care more about execution: slippage, order fills, and my exit strategy—whether I can accept the worst-case scenario. Lately, the testnet incentives and points system have heated back up, and everyone’s guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… I’m tempted too, but this kind of expectation is the easiest way to push your position too far. Anyway, my current rule is: if I can’t explain in one sentence what I’m actually betting on, I take my hand off the button first and go to sleep.
