I’ve been getting caught up in chasing hot topics again—I really can’t stand myself. Every time I see people in the group hyping things like “miners’ revenue is hitting new highs” or “MEV ordering is unfair,” I feel like I’m once again being dragged around by my emotions. I clearly know that what retail traders complain about is probably just someone harvesting attention, but I still can’t stop myself.

Later I thought about it: when hot topics rotate, the biggest risk is getting carried away by emotions and following the tempo. I’ve gotten used to first looking at the funding rate and position changes. If the funding rate is ridiculously high or positions suddenly spike, it’s most likely a burst of short-term sentiment. Better to be honest and keep a light position, then wait until retail has finished arguing for a round before taking action. Anyway, I’m not making a living off this—less loss is profit.

Recently I keep seeing people scold “miner brothers” and “ordering elites.” Put simply, what they’re making is the information edge and the first-mover advantage. If we rush in hard anyway, aren’t we just handing them free money? Forget it—I'll learn slowly.
