Many investors have experienced being trapped after chasing hot sectors. Why do experienced traders often avoid frequently chasing the latest trends? The truth is simple—hotspot trading indeed carries high risks.
Occasionally catching the right move can lead to a sense of overconfidence, but the problem is that market hotspots rotate very quickly. The logic that worked today may become invalid in the next cycle. Many people fall into a vicious cycle of "chasing a hot spot and getting trapped → waiting to break even → seeing a new hot spot → continuing to chase," which only results in accumulating losses.
A more prudent approach is to participate in hot sectors with only a small position for trial and error, while keeping the remaining funds flexibly allocated. This way, you can seize opportunities while effectively managing risk. After all, investing is fundamentally a long-term probability game, not about winning every single bet. Mastering the rhythm is the key to making money.

honestly this is just portfolio rebalancing 101 dressed up as wisdom. the real alpha is in the basis points you're leaving on the table by not hedging your exposure cross-chain. small position sizing? sure, but that's just risk management theater if you're not optimizing for gas efficiency at the same time

I'm too familiar with the routine of chasing hot topics and getting caught. It's always like this... I'll definitely change next time.

Damn it, I always get like this—seeing new concepts gets me hyped, but I end up getting deeper and deeper.
