The recent market has been a bit intense—the version updates that drain liquidity are coming in a little too hot. Before, at least you could call it “bottom-fishing.” Now it’s straight-up “survival mode first.” In the group, people keep circulating things back and forth about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and even rumors of de-pegging. Honestly, that kind of panic feels like a dungeon you haven’t cleared yet suddenly gets a maintenance notice—you don’t know whether the data will be wiped or rolled back. But when you look back, which of the old-timers who made it through the bear market in 2016 didn’t survive first by staying in a low-consumption mode? If you can’t control yourself and try to bottom-fish, you end up realizing you can’t even get the oil to take you down the road. Every cycle has a new script. I’ve just learned to survive first, then wait for the version to stabilize before moving on to the next stage. In any case, don’t sprint when you’re bleeding out—save your energy for the next big topic, and it’s better than ending up being treated like sacrificial grass.
