Just rethinking my actions from the past two weeks, I’m a little scared: the moment a hot topic switches, I want to chase it, my finger practically hovering over the confirm button. Then right before going to sleep, I casually flipped through the on-chain data and the project’s announcements and found the liquidity is ridiculously thin—if I really rushed in, I guess even a single pin could blow it all up… I’m just lucky it didn’t happen to me.

In plain terms, the attention economy is “whoever grabs your attention takes your transaction fees.” I’m trying to add a small bit of Zen to it: when I see trending searches, I pause for ten minutes first and ask myself, “Am I buying assets, or am I buying emotions?” Especially lately, with everyone talking about rate-cut expectations, the U.S. dollar index, and risk assets all playing together and performing up and down, it’s even easier to get led along by the script.

Anyway, my clumsy method is: don’t chase the first release, don’t be the first person to tell the story—better to miss out than to fill the pit. If I really want to participate, I’ll do it with a small position and set exit conditions. Go a little slower; it feels like it’s less likely you’ll get rug-pulled.
