I just brewed a cup of coffee, and it’s already gone cold. I took a glance at the blockchain, and today there’s only one word: chaos.

The hot topics move faster than I can roll my eyes. Yesterday everyone was hyping the “privacy-coin must-have narrative,” and today someone dug up an old post about how privacy-coin mixers clash with compliance—then both sides started arguing in no time. It feels like neither side convinced the other. Either way, I don’t want to draw a conclusion.

To put it plainly, this is how the attention economy works: every time a new headline comes up, some fresh crop of retail investors gets led around by the nose—chasing whatever’s pumping. In the end, it’s a total mess everywhere. As for me, a laid-back person who just squats and watches, I quietly observe the show. Sometimes I even check the floor prices of old NFTs—maybe I’ll catch a leak. Don’t ask me how I avoid getting cut; I’m surviving on luck plus sheer grit. For now, that’s it.
