I find that my biggest temptation isn't seeing others make money, but seeing "everyone is talking about it," and then I fear missing out. My mind starts to come up with reasons: this time is different, this time on-chain data has verified it... Basically, it's about trying to prove I'm not falling behind by jumping on hot topics.

But the attention economy is really ruthless. The faster the hot topics rotate, the easier people are to be driven by emotions. Especially recently, with debates over on-chain data tools, tagging systems being laggy or even misleading, I've now simply started to treat them as "references," not "conclusions." My personal rule is: as long as I can't clearly say who can control this contract's permissions/agents/upgrade entry points, or whether there's a blacklist that can be quickly cut off, then even if it's trending for a day, I won't touch it. Anyway, taking a little longer isn't shameful; getting cut once is the real shame.
