These days, liquidity dries up, and the market looks like a waterless succulent potting soil—still holding up on the surface, but actually hollow underneath. To put it plainly, during these times, don’t rush to buy the dip; first think about how to survive: don’t stack your positions too full, withdraw some liquidity if you can, and if on-chain fees suddenly spike, don’t fight it—take it slow.

Layer 2 is always comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies every day, making a lot of noise, but when a run-like decline happens, whether you can smoothly deposit and withdraw funds, whether bridges get stuck, and how severe the slippage is—that’s what really matters.

What I fear most isn’t losing money, but losing control—being forced to cut positions unexpectedly, pages not loading, unable to transfer funds—that kind of situation can throw you off completely. Anyway, first control what you can, and then look for opportunities with the rest. That’s all for now.
