Watching the market so closely that my hands start to itch—when I want to rush in and chase that one move—I’ll first close the trading interface and flip through the memo I wrote: Are the reasons you’re adding to your position based on information, or on emotion? Put simply, emotions often look a lot like, “Everyone else has already gotten on board, and I can’t be left behind”… Especially lately, with all those testnet incentive campaigns and points-related expectations, plus people in the group every day guessing whether the mainnet will start issuing tokens, the whole thing is so lively that it’s even easier to get carried away.



If I really decide to take action, I force myself to do two things: first, write my position as a specific number (if I don’t, then I’m not really adding), and second, check the address/signature pop-up again—don’t get so excited that you can’t even notice phishing. Chasing a breakout is fine, just don’t chase it so hard that you end up losing your safety habits for protecting your private key. I’d rather miss out than realize later, during a post-trade review, that I was purely being driven by emotions.
