Stop-loss is really just like a breakup—if you keep dragging it without sorting things out, you’ll only sink deeper and deeper, until even the time cost starts compounding like interest. In the past, I always told myself, “Just wait a bit longer—the structure will eventually return to symmetry.” But the longer I waited, the more crooked it became, and my mindset twisted with it. Now I set myself a very cliché rule: if the “me” who didn’t get on the train back then—would I buy today? If not, then leave. Don’t rationalize it with sentiment.

Lately, I’ve been watching those new chains roll out incentives to boost TVL, and I can totally empathize with the complaints from old users about “mine, then sell.” Put simply, you think you’re participating in building, but they’re actually designing the traffic structure. In any case, I’d rather admit the loss and exit than stubbornly burn energy in a game that doesn’t close the loop. That’s all for now.
