I find that I have a particularly low tolerance for floating losses, even if I haven't sold, I will go and check my positions again at night, with my mind full of "Should I cut my losses first?"
Floating profits are different; when it rises, I can sleep peacefully, at most waking up to see if it's still there...
Honestly, losing money feels like a countdown, while profits are just "a bit more," not painful enough, so they won't keep bothering you.
Recently, I saw everyone complaining about miner/validator income, MEV, and the fairness of transaction ordering, and I also resonate:
It's the same when prices move, knowing you might still be "cut in line" and exploited, floating losses feel more like being slapped from afar, and your mindset shifts directly from rational to defensive.
I'm more like studying "why can this thing run," rather than staring at K-lines every day for excitement;
But when my account turns red, even my composure can break...
Anyway, I've set a rule for myself now: if I don't plan to sell, I look less; if I want to sell, I first write down my reasons to avoid emotional impulsiveness in the middle of the night.
