I realize that the times I find it hardest to sleep are not when I’m making a lot of profit, but when I see floating losses and start to imagine: Will it keep falling? Should I cut my losses? If I sell, will it rebound immediately… Basically, losses feel like a reminder that “you made a mistake,” even if it’s just on paper, the brain doesn’t accept it. Conversely, floating gains are more likely to be seen as “the market is being kind,” and don’t feel as significant.

Recently, Layer2 has started comparing TPS, transaction fees, and subsidies, arguing like a market stall, but looking at the on-chain fund flows, it’s clear that winning or losing in words doesn’t matter; where the funds sleep is the real vote. My approach is pretty simple: set stop-losses and positions in stone, so that late-night emotions don’t change the parameters.
What I don’t regret is… at least I still look at the data instead of obsessing over candlestick charts and torturing myself.
