I used to chase trends too, wherever it was hot, I’d rush in. The result was that my wallet got drained, and my mindset completely broke. Recently, I’ve been seeing things like modular blockchains and DA layers popping up again. Developers seem pretty excited, but most of my circle of friends are generally clueless—so am I. Trend after trend keeps rotating. In plain terms, it’s just attention competing with itself; whoever gets excited first is the one who ends up unlucky first.

Now I’ve set a stupid rule for myself: when any new narrative comes out, treat it as if it’s designed to get me to be the bag holder. I thought a certain project really could change the world. But when I look up on-chain data, it’s all smart money dumping into retail hands. Anyway, I’m not chasing anymore—I’ll just watch the show. Real money stays with those old, timeworn positions and remains steady.
