I just got the itch again to chase the rally—my mouse was almost down to click—when I forcibly stopped: is it that I saw new information, or am I being pushed by the candlestick chart and group chat emotions into adding to my position? Right now, I’ll first just scribble three lines: “Where do the interest/returns come from, can I withdraw at any time, and in the worst case how much can I lose.” If I don’t write it down, I’m basically telling myself I haven’t fully thought it through.

Lately, all that fuss about privacy coins and coin-mixing has been arguing over compliance boundaries quite fiercely. The more they argue, the more likely it is to get you worked up—feels like if you don’t buy, you’ll miss out on the era… But honestly, the bigger the controversy, the more seriously I should treat exiting liquidity.

What I regret isn’t the outcome—it’s that I hadn’t even figured out the risk points yet, but still used emotions to find reasons for my position. For now, that’s all—cool down for two hours and then take another look.
