Unrealized losses can really mess with your sleep. Clearly, I haven't sold anything, but my mind automatically treats it as "already lost." Unrealized gains, on the other hand, are like passing red envelopes—once gone, they're gone, maybe just a two-minute happiness; unrealized losses are always hanging there, like someone staring at you saying "Aren't you going to admit you're wrong?" Basically, it's loss aversion—pain outweighs pleasure by a lot. Rationally, I know it's just volatility, but emotionally, I refuse to accept it.



Now I look at the market first to see how deep the liquidity is, whether the routing will slide me into a mountain... Otherwise, the more I watch, the more anxious I get. In the end, the loss might not be the market, but my own clumsiness. Recently, modularization and the DeFi layer are heating up again. Developers are ecstatic, but users look confused. I think it’s quite similar to the psychology of unrealized losses: not understanding but afraid of missing out, the more afraid, the more chaotic. Anyway, I prioritize sleep as my first position, and if I really place an order, I leave myself an "exit that lets me sleep peacefully."
