I find that what I can't stand the most is not earning less, but the floating loss hanging there unmoved... Clearly the gains haven't been realized on paper, but my mind automatically treats it as "already lost," and I can't help but open and look before bed, the more I look, the clearer I become. Conversely, unrealized gains are very laissez-faire; if it goes up, I just think "well, okay," and even worry about a retracement, so the happiness is very short-lived.
Recently, everyone has been watching the testnet incentives and accumulating points, and in the group, people are guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens or not. Honestly, it's the same psychological set: not getting it feels like missing out on a future airdrop. But if I were to add positions based on this anxiety, I would calm down and look at real users and retention, not to be led by "expectations"... I say I'm pessimistic, but I still gradually move a little with my hands, accepting it. That's it for now, I need to get back to work.
