Stop-loss is really like a breakup: the longer you drag it out, the more it hurts. And you’ll even comfort yourself with, “If I just wait a bit longer, it’ll come back”… The result is just waiting for confirmation, waiting for the pullback, waiting until you finally think it through—and in the end, you even end up paying the gas fees in “tuition” to the market. Plainly speaking, the loss is already a loss; continuing to hold it only adds time and interest (opportunity cost) on top. Lately, I’ve been watching the collapse of blockchain games and it feels more like live instruction: once inflation kicks in, studios get wrapped up, coin prices spiral downward, and everyone is waiting for the “next pump” as a life preserver—yet the more they wait, the more it starts to feel like they’re emotionally trapped. Anyway, before I place an order now, I think through the worst-case scenario first; if it happens, I cut it—no pretending.
