These days, memes are lively again, with the timeline all about storytelling and emotions. I also get itchy to follow along, but honestly, setting my stop-loss is more important than entering the market. Usually, I first check whether the on-chain funds are coming from the same group of addresses to pump and dump, whether the hype is spreading naturally or controlled by just a few people; then I write down the "worst acceptable loss" in advance, and when the time comes, I exit—don't expect to stay calm during the moment.

Recently, some people have been explaining ETF fund flows, risk appetite in the US stock market, and crypto price movements as if they are linked. It sounds smooth, but I don’t dare to take it as a trading reason... Later, I realized that the real pit I often fall into isn’t misreading the direction, but not setting a hard stop-loss and just hoping to wait it out. Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less than to be poked by a needle and lose sleep.
