In the past few days, we've seen waves of hype come and go, to put it simply, attention is moving faster than funds. When everyone gets excited, they treat the "presence" as a signal, and rushing in makes it easy to get caught. Incidents like cross-chain bridge hacks are often said to have been obvious in hindsight, but when the hot search hits, hands get itchy.
I personally now prefer to watch the collateral changes in lending pools, whether big players are adding or reducing positions, or if there's a sudden margin top-up—more practical than just shouting a few words in the group. Also, that abnormal quote from the oracle during that incident, when everyone suddenly agreed on "waiting for confirmation," is actually quite funny but also quite necessary—at least it put a pause on impulsiveness.
If every time a hot topic comes up, I first ask myself: am I trading or just buying emotion? Maybe I’d save a lot of lessons… Anyway, I’d rather miss out on some opportunities than fuel the hype at its loudest. That’s all for now.
