Lately, there's been a bit of information overload, with a bunch of forwarded messages and long posts from KOLs in the group, and the emotions are crashing down like a waterfall. Then someone impulsively buys and loses money, and they start looking for "who's setting the rhythm." Honestly, whether it's group messages or KOLs, they're just noise amplifiers; the moment you click confirm, you're the one paying the price.

What annoys me the most is twisting ETF capital flows, or the risk appetite of the US stock market, into interpretations like "cryptos must rise/fall," which sounds like justifying impulsiveness. No one mentions the more practical costs like transaction fees, slippage, or on-chain congestion; instead, there's a bunch of grand narratives urging you to "keep up."

Anyway, my current rule is: don't act on the hype first, go check the transaction volume and fees on-chain, and only decide when you're calm. That's it for now. I'm going to compare and record today's L2 settlement gas fees.
