Switching between a few wallets lately has been a bit annoying. There’s still a little junk coin left on the Ethereum mainnet, some LP wrapped up on Arbitrum, and Solana has also done an airdrop of something I don’t even know what… To put it bluntly, there isn’t much money, but there are a ton of addresses.

Anyway, whenever a chain is upgrading and needs to go offline, my first reaction isn’t to check the coin price—I check first whether I have any assets buried on that chain that I haven’t withdrawn. Before a fork on some chain, I stayed up all night consolidating small amounts, only to have nothing happen the next day. I just burned time for nothing.

Now I’ve learned my lesson: unless it’s necessary, I don’t open new addresses. For small funds, I just leave them on the exchange since I can’t be bothered to move them. If I really want to play with a new ecosystem, I’ll temporarily transfer over. That’s it for now. Managing my own mess matters a lot more than managing the market.
