I’m quite interested in the whole re-pledging/shared security thing, but every time I see “you can stack the returns another layer,” I instinctively pull my hand back a bit. Plainly put, stacking returns easily leads you to stack risks too—and it also creates a kind of illusion: you think that adding a few more layers of protocols makes things “safer,” but in reality the correlations are higher, and when something goes wrong, it usually all goes wrong together.

I stay calm mainly thanks to a very plain habit: every time I’m about to add to my position or add leverage, I first take a screenshot and note three things—position size, time, and my current emotion (greed/fear/boredom). After writing it down, I wait half an hour and then only hit confirm. After half an hour, if I still want to buy, I only buy half of the original plan, so I leave myself an exit.

Recently, Meme coins and all kinds of celebrity calls for buys have been getting hot again, and attention shifts are moving insanely fast… veteran traders say don’t catch the last wave, and I get it now: the last wave is usually not because someone “doesn’t understand,” but because they “think they understand.” For now, I’ll stick with this—honestly, I’d rather make a little less than end up stacking myself out when trying to stack returns.
