Honestly, after that liquidation, I kept thinking: in the end, who really should be the one paying the price for my impulsive buying—messages in the group chat, or KOLs? The more I think about it, the more it feels like I should blame myself. Now the messages in the group are flying by—one minute it’s all about how many TPS Layer2 just hit, and the next it’s comparing which chain’s Gas fees are insanely low and how generous the subsidies are. To be honest, just watching is enough to make me anxious—I’m afraid that if I’m even half a step behind, I’ll miss something. But then I realized: the faster you rush, the easier it is to end up crashing.

So now, I intentionally make myself slow down instead. I’ll look at the messages half a beat later; let everyone else rush in first, and then I check whether the data matches up. No matter how great a KOL is, whatever they say, I won’t move immediately. After all, the money is still in my own hands—I’ll take a breath first, then decide. Slowing down doesn’t really seem like a bad thing at all; at least the margin can last a few more days. Sigh, maybe I’m just too timid—but if you’ve been liquidated once, you really do feel how much better it is to slow down.
