Recently, we've been talking about sharding and parallel processing again. When the group gets lively, I get itchy and want to jump into new pools... But honestly, the more "big-picture" the narrative, the more I need to focus on the small details: where to place assets, whether the contract has any old bugs, and most importantly, whether I can withdraw at any time. Now, large transfers on the chain and hot/cold wallets on exchanges are interpreted as smart money moves, I do glance at them, but I don't dare to treat them as directives. Many times, it's just normal operations like moving or market-making.
After lowering my expectations, I feel more relaxed: not expecting to take off in one shot, just testing small positions as planned, and if I can exit, I stay alive a bit longer. FOMO still exists, but since I tend to make mistakes quickly anyway, I prefer to think through "how to proceed" before entering, to avoid ending up crying in the group later.
