Late at night scrolling through my phone, I was just trying to check the small movements on the chain,
but I happened to glance and see that my holdings were still floating in loss,
my mind immediately started playing a little drama:
Should I cut it?
Would holding on longer be even worse?
Honestly, when I was in a paper profit, I acted like it never happened,
I was even too lazy to open and check;
floating losses are like a bug under the bed,
constantly scratching at you, making it hard to sleep peacefully.
Maybe this is loss aversion,
that tiny loss gets amplified into “Did I make the wrong overall decision?”
Especially recently, with that mainstream public chain about to upgrade/maintain,
and the group guessing whether ecological projects will migrate,
the more they argue, the more it feels like adding background music to anxiety.
Anyway, my current clumsy approach is:
keep the position smaller,
slowly hold onto projects I understand the cash flow of,
don’t let floating losses squeeze out all the romance…
That’s how I’ll do it for now.
