A straightforward way I recently summarized position management: Even if you make a wrong call, you can still sit at the table.

Holding spot positions that you can't really hold is mostly because your position size is too large, and the ups and downs just poke at your emotions;
Futures often get liquidated too, basically because you're using leverage you shouldn't be able to handle to bet on "this time, it’s definitely right."

Others think: the bigger the position, the faster to turn things around.
In reality: the larger the position, the easier it is to be crushed by volatility, leaving you no chance to even review what happened.

By the way, seeing everyone complain about miner/validator income, MEV, and fair ordering, I also feel quite a bit...
Until on-chain rules change, retail investors are more likely to be "casually" charged a toll fee, so I’d rather earn a little less than put my position in a spot where a single needle could blow it up.
Anyway, staying alive is more important than telling stories.
