My current attitude towards borrowing positions is just one word: slow. The moments when you're three steps away from the liquidation line, with your heart pounding faster, are the easiest times to slip up and add leverage or "top up your margin to gamble," and then the more you top up, the more anxious you become. My approach is actually to slow down first, break the position into smaller parts: pay off one part, then another, and move the red line a little further out, even if it means earning less, just to stabilize the fact that "I won't be kicked out by the system."
Especially recently, the group has been discussing stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various de-pegging rumors. In plain terms, the emotional contagion is very fast, and the more they talk about it, the more anxious everyone gets. The more these situations happen, the more you need to be a step slower: don’t rush to believe the leaks, don’t rush to add to your position, first clearly write down the losses you can bear, then decide whether to continue holding. Anyway, I’d rather lose face a little slower than get liquidated quickly and have a screenshot posted in the group...
