That was really a false alarm earlier. When I was just transferring a bit of on-chain transaction fee, I accidentally copied the address and added two extra characters by slip of the finger, and I only noticed before I hit confirm… my heart rate basically went through the roof. And I’ll also remind myself: I can’t hold spot, and contracts keep tempting me to go gamble. Put plainly, it’s not that my judgment is wrong—it’s that my position sizing is just too unreasonable.

Here’s the plain-language version I tell myself now: don’t let any emotional impulse be the one to decide whether you reset to zero today. Treat spot as “slow money”—after you buy, think through how long you might have to endure the worst case first. Treat contracts as “a tool” at most—keep the position small, and if you get swept, you’ll only complain a couple of times; it won’t affect your sleep. Lately, with funding rates at extremes, the group has been arguing about whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble. As for me, I’m doing one thing: the more they argue, the more I shrink my positions—save my ammunition for certainty, and don’t hand your life to a single needle. That’s all for now.
