I found that unrealized losses really disturb sleep more than unrealized gains... Even when the account shows a small unrealized loss, the mind automatically starts imagining "Will it go to zero?" "Should I cut now?" Conversely, when there's an unrealized profit, I stay calm, even thinking "I can wait a bit longer." Basically, it's loss aversion at work—the pain of losing feels much worse than the pleasure of winning.



Recently, a new L2 launched incentives to attract TVL, and the group was again complaining about "mining, selling, and dumping." I looked into the cross-chain bridge + liquidity pool pathways for a while, but the more I looked, the less I understood. My finger was already on the confirm button but then pulled back... In the end, I thought: If I don't understand it, I won't act first. That night, I slept pretty well. Although I didn't catch the ups and downs the next day, at least I wasn't woken up by my own fears. Anyway, I now prefer using a "model that can be explained clearly" over "fewer opportunities."
