I set a rule for myself: no matter how itchy I get from the narratives of "parallelization/sharding," I shouldn't rush into perpetuals first. To put it simply, the excitement belongs to others, but my positions and emotions are mine... When I get caught up, I chase after it, then look at funding rates and position changes to find reasons to comfort myself. It's pretty embarrassing.

Recently, with social mining and fan tokens—this idea of "attention as mining"—it looks like everyone is picking up money, but what I’m more afraid of is: when something really goes wrong, how do you exit? Where do you store the coins, who did you authorize, are there any strange contract calls on the chain? I review these first. Only positions I can sleep soundly with count as real positions; if I can't sleep, I pretend I didn't see it. Light positions, slow pace, for now, that's it.
