Last night, I was watching those few big transfers on-chain again, and in the group chat, a bunch of people were shouting, “The whales are entering—quick, follow…” I’ve learned my lesson now: first, figure out clearly whether he’s building a position, or hedging on the other side, and just using you as liquidity. Put simply, the same amount of money could be either “trying to push” or “trying to catch the net.” Judging by the position structure and whether there are any signs of later staggered limit orders is more reliable than just staring at one transfer screenshot.

By the way, lately, other people have been complaining again that miners/validators are earning too much, that MEV ordering isn’t fair, and so on—I get that kind of helpless feeling too. You think you’re trading, but in reality you’re lining up to be cut in line. Before, I also followed a few “whale signal” accounts, and the more I looked, the more anxious I got. Later, I just unfollowed them; it’s cleaner that way, and even losing money feels more clear-cut… For now, that’s it. Going to make up for sleep during the day.
