Recently, I saw a bunch of people watching whale addresses and trying to follow their trades. I just hold back for now: first, clarify whether they are slowly building positions or using spot + futures to hedge and lock in risks. Many "buys" are actually followed by opening shorts, with no change in net position. If you follow in, you just become an emotional bagholder. My simple method: check if there are large transfers into exchanges or changes in perpetual positions during the same time period, then see if they are entering and exiting in batches rather than going all-in at once. If you can't understand, just pretend you didn't see it. By the way, hardware wallets are out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere. At this time, the most important thing to follow isn't whales, but your own security process: don't click on links, verify signatures carefully, and regularly revoke authorizations.
What I fear most isn't missing out on opportunities, but handing assets over to a "seemingly safe" bridge or clicking on a random link.
