These days, I’ve been restless again because of floating losses. My position isn’t even that big, and it’s fine to check during the day, but at night my mind automatically starts replaying “Should I cut it?” “Did I buy too early?” Honestly, no matter how much unrealized profit I have, it’s just like having an extra hotpot meal; but unrealized losses feel like owing someone a favor. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I get, especially the more laid-back I try to be, the more I fear I might suddenly lose control and make reckless moves.

Actually, I later realized that I can’t sleep not because of how much I’ve lost, but because of “uncertainty”: I don’t know if tomorrow will be worse or if I’ll miss a better way to handle it. Anyway, I’ve now moved everything I can afford to slow-cook into a relatively safer pool, split my positions into smaller parts, and pre-set a line where I won’t look if it drops below a certain point, to avoid emotional impulsiveness.

By the way, watching everyone argue about NFT royalties also seems similar: creators want to get more, traders want more liquidity, and in the end, the most uncomfortable are often the small retail investors caught in the middle… I won’t get involved; the less fuss, the better. I’ll sleep first and deal with it tomorrow.
