I ignore the floating gains during the day, and at night, staring at that little floating loss feels like there's a mosquito buzzing inside my phone screen. Clearly, it's just numbers, but my brain automatically pairs it with "Will it keep crashing" or "Should I cut my losses" as background music. To put it simply, the profit in that one block doesn't really count, and the loss feels like it's been taken out of my pocket. The more I think about it before bed, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I keep checking.
Recently, I saw news about cross-chain bridge hacks, and suddenly "my small loss doesn't matter" turns into "it can actually go straight to zero"... Then oracles start acting up, and a bunch of people in the group begin "waiting for confirmation." This consensus feels pretty real: when losing money, everyone suddenly becomes very disciplined, afraid of being the unlucky one who acts too quickly.
Anyway, I’ll just keep my stop-loss/reminder on and stop watching. The more I watch, the more it feels like I'm fueling my anxiety. I'm going to get some work done.
