I find that I can't sleep not mainly because I didn't earn enough, but because that little floating loss on my account keeps flickering there.
When I have unrealized gains, I stay pretty calm, maybe subconsciously thinking "it will come back," but when I lose, I start imagining chain liquidations, liquidity suddenly drying up, slippage burying people...
Honestly, it's just loss aversion—feeling the pain of losing 1 dollar is way stronger than the thrill of earning 1 dollar.
Recently, I saw someone comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products, talking about them as if they were just savings in a bank.
I'm not saying none of it works, but I would first ask: when things really go wrong, what do you actually get back—profits or a bunch of explanations?
I don't need to be understood; I just want to survive first, so I’d rather check my positions for a couple of eyes before bed than let floating losses turn me into a fool.
