These days, I got tempted again by the excitement of meme culture.
Knowing that narratives tend to get addictive once they start, I still had the thought, "Maybe I can skip leverage just this once"...
Honestly, setting stop-losses for myself now is more about preventing impulsiveness: clearly writing down at what point I will exit if the price drops, rather than waiting for the group to start telling stories and only then realizing.
By the way, looking at the incentives on the testnet and the expected points, everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens.
I also get tempted, but I’m more afraid of mistaking “possible airdrops” for “must go all-in.”
My biggest fear isn’t slow progress, but chaos—being slow can still allow for review, but chaos takes me back to that illusion of overnight riches I used to have.
For now, I’ll just do small-position hedging today, avoiding giving myself any temptation.
