I find that I’m really more sensitive to “unrealized losses” than to “unrealized gains”… If there’s a little more on the books, I just take it as a bonus—flick through it a couple of times and forget it; but once it turns red, even if I haven’t sold, my brain starts automatically imagining the worst-case scenario. The more I think, the more I can’t sleep. It’s all just numbers that haven’t been realized into my pocket. Put simply, I’m afraid that “the cat food I could have eaten has flown away again,” and that’s more upsetting than “not having eaten more.”

Recently, haven’t people been talking about certain places raising taxes and compliance being strict for a while, then loosened again? Things like that don’t affect me so much in terms of fees—mainly it’s the psychological expectations: once I think that deposits and withdrawals might become more troublesome, unrealized losses feel even more like they’re being locked in a cage. The more I look, the more anxious I get… Anyway, my current solution is pretty crude: keep my position smaller, don’t check the K-line before bed, treat the losses as a ticket to an on-chain amusement park—this is how I do it for now.
