Recently, as interest rates fluctuate up and down, risk appetite is like a switch: when money gets expensive, everyone prefers to hold cash and wait; when it gets cheap, they can't help but chase the hype. For someone like me who doesn't chase the rising trend, the most obvious thing is that the pace of position sizing needs to slow down a bit, so I don't get excited and blow my bullets all at once... Anyway, macro changes happen quickly, and market sentiment can transmit to the crypto space pretty fast.

Lately, Meme and celebrity shoutouts have become popular again. I’ve seen a few and almost clicked to join the fun, but then the exchange was still queueing/retrying, and I immediately calmed down: veteran traders say that not taking the last step is really not an exaggeration. Now I keep some positions in the slow lanes like privacy and decentralized storage, which are niche and take time. If I can wait, I wait; if I don’t spend, it’s not too painful.
