Lately, I've really been feeling overwhelmed with information, a bunch of screenshots in the group chat + KOLs saying "the logic checks out," and my hands start to itch. To put it simply, impulsively making purchases—whether from group messages or KOLs—is just a nudge; ultimately, it's still up to myself to confirm. Blaming others is pointless.

Now I trust those slower on-chain metrics more, like TVL, active addresses, and real revenue—they at least help me stay calm. But recently, I've also seen people criticize data tools and tagging systems as "lagging" and "misleading," which I understand. So I treat them as filters, not as navigation guides.

Anyway, I’ve set smaller goals: not chasing every hot topic, just focusing on a few protocols' changes, and only act when I can explain clearly. Surprisingly, this helps me stick longer and keeps my mindset from being easily manipulated. That’s all for now.
