I find that unrealized losses disturb sleep more than unrealized gains, mainly because the brain automatically treats them as "unfinished incidents."


Unrealized gains, on the other hand, can always be given back, so they seem almost nonexistent; unrealized losses are different, even if just on paper, the body reacts first—eyes feel tired, stomach tightens a bit, even though I haven't been watching the market constantly.

In the group these days, there's been talk again about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various screenshots of "de-pegging" situations, basically stuffing uncertainty under your pillow.
From a scientific perspective, losses amplify your imagination of tail risks, especially when execution and liquidity worsen, leaving little room for rescue.

My current approach is very simple: keep positions small enough to sleep, set trigger conditions fixed, and just not follow the emotional hype… for now, that's it.
