I keep seeing posts equating ETF flows with US stock risk appetite to analyze crypto prices, and honestly, I'm kind of tired of it. It’s not that the logic is wrong—it’s that by the time you finish reading that three-page essay, the hot topic has already shifted twice. Your attention is someone else’s exit liquidity.

I’ve tried chasing narratives myself. A protocol just pumped on the restaking narrative, and within maybe 36 hours, the same KOLs are already talking about AI agents. When you look back, the logic seems clear, but while you’re in the middle of it, it’s all noise.

My approach now is pretty basic: set a hard stop-loss, then physically disconnect from the internet for a few hours. It’s not like the chain stops harvesting just because I’m not watching, right?
