When I feel the urge to chase, I used to go all in without thinking, but now I pause for a moment — was that piece of news I just saw a screenshot passed around three times in a group, or did I dig it up from the chain myself?

The screenshot of USDT de-pegging went viral again last night. In the past, I would have rushed in to "buy the dip," but now my first reaction is to open the browser and check the reserve page... Although I did end up making a small buy, at least I know whether I’m betting on sentiment or on information.

In short, after writing so many notes, the itch still comes, but when it does, there’s an extra pause button.
