On the subway, I was browsing on-chain data and saw a bunch of "tags/clusters" clearly dividing addresses into categories—whales, institutions, smart money... Honestly, I only trust half of it. Many addresses are just wallets moving funds back and forth, crossing chains, splitting into dozens of small packets; no matter how accurate the profiling, it’s like looking at shadows through frosted glass.
Recently, the group has been sharing about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and screenshots of "de-pegging" events. When emotions run high, everyone wants to latch onto a tag as an anchor: if

Every time he makes a statement, the market starts to stir, and then it depends on how he actually implements his real money.

My recent conclusion is pretty timid: don’t think you can hold everything at once, and don’t try to prove yourself with contracts—first make your position small enough to “sleep well,” and then talk. Plainly put, I can’t hold spot because the moment a pullback hits, my brain starts fantasizing about going to zero; with contracts, I get liquidated because I treat “might” as “should,” and the second I add leverage, I get急.

I also try to minimize signing authorizations, especially those pop-up prompts urging you to "confirm immediately"—take a moment to check the domain

The recent market feels quite "waterless," with order books so thin they look like paper, and a slight move causes a bunch of slippage. To put it simply, when liquidity dries up, focus on surviving first and then think about bottom fishing; otherwise, you might think you're picking up bargains, but you're actually digging your own grave.
Seeing people interpret large on-chain transfers and unusual movements in exchange hot and cold wallets as "smart money," I also get curious, but I really don't dare to blindly trust it... Many times, it's just others adjusting positions/risk control/internal
