Lately, there's been a real overload of information, with a bunch of "Brothers, did you rush in?" in the group chat, and a lot of "I've already laid out" in the KOL live streams... Then when someone buys at a high price, they start blaming fate. Honestly, the main responsibility for impulsive orders lies with you; the group messages are just a nudge, and your hand is the one reaching out.
Especially these past two days, funding rates have been extreme, and everyone is arguing whether to "reverse or keep squeezing the bubble." It's exhausting to watch. If you really want to do some decent homework, first control the trading details: I just checked a route on a certain DEX, A→USDC→B, and the out price given is clearly worse. Yet some still insist on direct swaps and even set slippage to 2%, then complain after the trade that they got "stolen." That's not theft; that's you giving money to others through a channel.
Anyway, my current rule is simple: when I see the group flooding with messages, I turn off notifications first, wait 5 minutes, then check on-chain transactions and depth; if I still want to buy, I do a small test order. If not, I just forget it. Don’t treat "listening to who" as your trading system.
