I barely do big trades anymore. Most of what I do now is small, random swaps moving leftovers, fixing balances, testing something without committing real money. Like last week I just needed to swap a small amount to top up gas and clean up some dust, and half the platforms made it feel like I was about to execute a major trade. Minimums, extra steps, waiting around. Sometimes I just want to swap $30–$80, have it go through in a few minutes, and forget about it. Curious if others are in the same “small and boring” phase or if I’m just over it.

this feels like a pretty normal progression honestly. after a while the big trades lose their appeal and you care more about flexibility and not overthinking every move. small swaps for gas, dust cleanup, or testing things keep the stress low and the mistakes cheap. boring usually means you are managing risk better, not that you are doing something wrong.
Hard same. Most of my swaps lately are like $40–$60 just to fix something I broke earlier
yep. needed gas last week and somehow it turned into a whole process. annoying
I still do big trades sometimes but 90% of my activity is tiny cleanup moves now
Good for small random swaps, goes through in minutes, that’s all I want most days
I kinda stuck w Changelly for that kind of stuff, flexible limits, didn’t force me into bigger amounts
L from exchanges, anything under $100 should not feel like a “strategy decision”
idk, small swaps add up in fees. I’d rather batch and do fewer bigger ones
