I just checked my lending positions—I'm still three steps away from the liquidation red line, so I hurried to adjust my collateral ratio.

Honestly, DeFi is like growing vegetables. Planting (borrowing) is incredibly satisfying—but the moment you get pests (liquidations), it turns into a headache. I’ve been burned before; I was almost liquidated. Now I’ve learned: I sweep through my positions every two weeks. I don’t look at the price—I only watch the red line. The strategy for small capital is simple: don’t be too aggressive; leave some room. For example, if 50% collateral is enough, don’t force it to 80%—otherwise, the moment the market wobbles, you’ll end up like a tender little veggie.

Recently, the airdrop season and the points-based competition have been as intense as going to work. Some people push their positions way too high just to farm rewards, and then everything blows up the instant the liquidation line gets touched. As for me, I’m used to setting up backups across several protocols—like leaving a few seedlings to ward off pest problems: if one fails, there’s another as a fallback.

The first few steps before the red line aren’t being timid—they’re time you give the harvest. That’s it for now—I’m going to check on my little vegetable garden. Don’t let it turn into a wasted effort because of some anti-witch nonsense. That would really sting, hahaha.
