Last night I was woken up again by my floating losses, pretty annoying.
Even though my position isn't large, that feeling of "losing" is like someone constantly knocking on the table nearby,
The gains on paper are actually less harsh; frankly, unrealized gains feel more like borrowed money that can be repaid at any time.
Unrealized losses are like bills hanging there—if you don't deal with them, they just stay there forever.
I later realized one thing: when I’m at a loss, my mind automatically starts making up scenarios, like "Did I see the trend wrong?" "Will it keep falling and I can't recover?"
So I end up staring more and can't sleep.
On the other hand, when I make a profit, I mostly think "Don't pull back too much," and my emotions aren't as sticky.
These days, everyone is talking about whether the main chain will go offline before and after the upgrade, whether ecosystem projects will migrate.
I think the rhythm of funds moving across chains is indeed a bit tense, but I care more about whether stablecoins are being drained noticeably, or if exchange inflows suddenly spike...
These things make me feel more at ease than just shouting in the group about whether to migrate or not.
You said "pretend it never happened" when you're at a loss—yeah, I want that too, but my body isn't cooperating.
First, I need to get my position to a level where I can sleep peacefully.
