Let me tell you, I’ve been pretty anxious lately about trying to farm rewards. Seeing other people scoop everything up like crazy makes me nervous—I’m scared I’ll step into a trap and end up crashing and burning. Yesterday I stumbled on a project with an interaction cost of $80. I almost impulsively jumped in after a moment of heat-of-the-moment thinking, but later I figured, anyway, I only have that little bit of gas in my wallet, so I decided to give up for now. This is hilarious—at times like this, the scariest thing is “everyone else has already claimed,” and then you get carried away and end up getting counterfarmed. But honestly, the funding rate side is insanely high. The community is all guessing whether it’s about to reverse or whether they’ll keep squeezing the bubble. I watched the on-chain data for a while—it feels like I’m playing a pixel, over-the-top chaos dance, with the tempo speeding up and slowing down, and I can’t read it.

Anyway, I’m planning to just lie low first and wait until that tight-stomach feeling passes. I stayed up late last night watching some pixel mini-drama, and my eyes started aching and my neck got stiff, so I ordered takeout. Now my stomach feels tight too, and I feel like a malfunctioning pixel cat. Forget it—let’s just leave it at that. Don’t wear yourself out too much.
