The trading activity on the Base chain is indeed increasing, but this also means that risks are testing the discipline of every participant. Want to share a piece of this market? The key is to set clear rules in advance. First, lock in a maximum limit for each single position; this is the lifeline. When market liquidity begins to shrink, it is essential to strictly follow the plan and not be blinded by FOMO. The easiest trap to fall into is chasing high positions, and blindly increasing positions for ranking purposes is a major taboo. Remember, the trend in the last 24 hours often determines the outcome of the entire cycle; managing risk is always wiser than pursuing extreme returns.

That's right, discipline can really save lives. I previously got liquidated directly due to FOMO chasing highs, and the lesson was profound. --- The leaderboard is truly a poison. Watching others climb up the ranks, I couldn't help but add more positions, only to lose even faster. --- The phrase "the outcome is decided in the last 24 hours" really hit me. How many times have I fallen short at the last moment. --- Position limits must be strictly adhered to, or the market will leave you no way out once it turns. --- When liquidity contracts, it's time to admit defeat. Still stubbornly holding on is just courting death, isn't it? --- The hype around Base is indeed high this time, but the hotter it gets, the more you need to stay calm, or you'll just be a runner-up. --- Controlling risk sounds simple, but actually doing it is explosively difficult. --- Chasing high positions is truly a life-and-death gamble. My hard-earned money has taught me that.

Here comes another reminder to be rational, how easy it sounds. When FOMO hits, who still remembers the position limit. --- That's how the people on the leaderboard lost money, a bloody lesson. --- Is the last 24 hours the moment of life and death? I feel like every wave is betting on this. --- That's true, but the hype around Base is really tempting, it's hard not to be tempted. --- The joy of adding positions vs. the pain of risk control, I choose joy. --- Knowing about the single transaction limit and actually implementing it are worlds apart. --- When liquidity contracts, you'll understand. By then, it's too late to regret.

It's the same old story, easy to say but hard to do, brother. I've chased highs many times, that little fame on the leaderboard is really hard to quit. Discipline? Laughable, when FOMO kicks in, who still remembers the risk control rules. Setting a position limit is indeed necessary, otherwise a single all-in could be a disaster. Base liquidity is so poor that even running away requires queuing. The last 24 hours deciding the outcome is quite real; I've been slapped in the face too many times. It's easy to talk about, but hard to control oneself, that's the gambling nature.

Oh no, it's the same old story about risk control, but indeed 99% of people can't do it. The point is correct, but execution is just too difficult. This round of Base is really tempting, but FOMO is truly toxic... I've experienced it myself. Anyone can set rules, but when it comes to critical moments, isn't it still about adding positions... The phrase "final 24 hours decide the outcome" is just perfect, my blood, sweat, and tears story. If you ask me, getting your mindset right is more effective than any risk control.

ngl the discipline thing hits different when you're actually studying adoption curves across chains. base is basically the canonical example of network effects playing out in real-time, but yeah, most newcomers just see green candles and forget protocol sustainability exists lol
