Recently, I’ve come to realize the importance of “slowness”: paper gains are really noisier than paper losses, even though it’s just a change on the books, my mind automatically starts filling in the story—Will it keep falling? Did I buy the wrong thing? Should I sell now? The more I think about it, the harder it is to sleep. Conversely, with paper profits, I at most secretly enjoy it, then start worrying about a pullback, and I don’t dare to take it seriously.

When I check TVL and fund flows during my lunch break, I feel more at ease; the data slowly climbs, at least it’s more reliable than emotional reactions rushing forward. Now everyone is excited talking about modularization and the DAO layer, developers are thrilled, users look confused, and I’m confused too… So I prefer to be a bit slower: first see if the number of users has increased, if the money has truly stayed. Anyway, I don’t like to argue, slow down, do fewer impulsive trades, and my sleep quality can directly improve.
