I find that I have a particularly low tolerance for floating losses, even though I haven't sold and haven't lost a penny, that red number just feels like it's hanging right in front of my eyes, and I can't help but check my phone a couple of times before bed; on the other hand, I'm quite calm about floating gains, even thinking "this isn't really my money," basically it's loss aversion acting up, and my brain prefers to treat the "possible loss" as already lost.



Recently, cross-chain bridges have had issues again, and there are a bunch of people shouting "wait for confirmation" when oracles report errors, and I can't sleep even more: it's not about fearing the market, but about fearing that one step might suddenly become irreversible, once I sign, once the bridge is passed, there's no rollback. Now I prefer to earn a little less, and split my positions into smaller parts, avoiding cross-chain if possible, even if it means slower confirmations... Anyway, my obsessive-compulsive tendencies make losing more in terms of mindset more painful than losing in transaction fees.
