The biggest feeling I've had while watching the market these days is: when that "rope" of interest rates tightens, risk appetite shrinks accordingly, and my positions also need to be scaled down. Once the funding rate starts to tilt to one side, the "I'll go all in first" sentiment in the order book becomes very obvious, but if the macro environment isn't easing, rushing in can easily turn into taking the other side of the trade... Honestly, I now prefer to earn a little less than to get caught off guard in the middle of the night by a sudden spike.



By the way, I've been observing the Layer 2 arguments about TPS/fees/subsidies—it's lively, but in a tight macro environment, no matter how generous the subsidies are, they can't stop everyone from reducing leverage first. Even if the chain speeds up, it can't save the declining risk appetite.

Regarding security, I've recently forced myself to take an extra step: before cross-chain or authorizing, pause for 30 seconds, set the authorization limit to the minimum, and conveniently check the contract address. It's troublesome, but it's definitely better than having a mental breakdown afterward. Anyway, my current principle is: stay alive first, avoid big losses.
