Lately, I've been feeling anxious about the word "interest rate"… Whenever U.S. bonds rise, risk appetite seems to turn off like a valve being twisted, and hot spots on the chain immediately become heated: collateral correlations bunch up, and liquidation lines fly right up close. Basically, before increasing my position now, I check the stablecoin lending rates and the rhythm of large holders adding or withdrawing collateral; if something feels off, I cut back on leverage first—survival is more important than face.

And then there are privacy coins, mixing coins, and the boundary of compliance—talking about these in the community gives me a headache. Not taking sides, but when these kinds of emotions flare up, volatility tends to become more "temperamental," and I dare not hold my ground stubbornly.

To avoid impulsive trades, I have one trick: when I want to confirm an order, I first put my phone on the table, go pour a glass of water, and when I come back, ask myself, "Is this an opportunity or am I retaliating against the market?"… If I can't answer, I just back off—better safe than sorry.
