In the morning, stuck in traffic to the point of doubting life, and my coffee also went cold... I casually checked the testnet points group, and it feels like everyone is treating "practice questions" as "final exams worth points." To put it plainly, once the expectations start to grow, you begin to find reasons to keep adding time and money to your positions.
My own stop-loss is very crude: first, when I see the tasks becoming more like clocking in at work, and I have to front the funds / cross transactions to pay fees, I consider it already spoiled and stop immediately; second, when the group starts sharing statements like "certain someone is definitely a big deal," I also stop. Don’t fall in love with expectations.
Recently, in some regions, taxes and compliance are tightening and loosening, and the psychological expectations for deposits and withdrawals are swinging again. Don’t take "policy might be favorable/unfavorable" as a reason to keep pushing your points... In the end, only what can be realized counts, and what cannot be realized is just self-consolation. That’s all for now.
