These past two days, the group chat has started spamming again—more than a dozen voice messages and a few pictures, all paired with a line like “about to moon”… After I read it, my first reaction wasn’t excitement—it was fatigue. To put it bluntly, when information overload hits, the ones who always end up paying the bill on impulse are never the group messages or the KOLs; they post it and then go busy with other things.

When it comes to me “fishing for a little extra,” my habit is to write the route clearly and avoid looking at things if I can. But with trading, I still get swept up in the momentum—especially in the middle of the night. That hot topic about “miner/validator income, MEV, and whether transaction ordering is fair” took me a while to catch on to, too: turns out some slippage and quirks in the trade execution order really are strange—so it’s not just me being careless with my hands. Anyway, now I keep it simple and crude: if I don’t understand it, I don’t touch it first. If I feel like placing an impulsive order, I force myself to wait ten minutes, which can save a lot of tuition.
