Just now I got the itch to chase again, and ended up closing the order screen. I asked myself one thing first: what new information did I actually get, or am I just watching the green-and-red candlesticks bounce around and getting restless too? In plain terms, if the information can be written into a few verifiable points, then all that’s left is “fear of missing out.” I usually start with a very small amount to test the waters—like 50 bucks—mostly to remind myself not to get swept up emotionally.

Recently, all that noise around privacy coins and coin-mixing has been arguing hard about the compliance boundary. I can easily get pulled into the rhythm too: sometimes thinking, “this narrative is about to take off,” and then worrying, “am I crossing the line?” Anyway, my current approach is to wait 10 minutes first, draw out the logic that can be plotted; if I can’t draw it, then I’ll treat it as not yet enough for me to add to my position. For now, that’s it.
