Last night I fell into my old habit again—staring at that line, back and forth, while my mind was still coming up with reasons for it: just wait a bit longer, it’ll bounce and then I’ll leave… In the end, the longer I dragged it out, the more it started to feel like a breakup. Even though it wasn’t right anymore, I still couldn’t let go. Then the final cut came down, and it hurt even more—and I even ended up paying a little extra “interest” (emotion + time).
I’m learning to be smarter now. Cutting losses isn’t a sign of surrender—it’s pulling my head out of the mud. Especially recently, all those narratives about AI Agents and automated trading have been pretty hot. They say it frees up your hands, but the more on-chain interactions there are, the more security traps show up too—things like contract approvals and robot strategies getting out of control. Anyone who’s stepped on them knows. Anyway, what I can do is: first think through the worst case. If I can’t handle it, then I leave—don’t treat “faith” as a stop-loss line. That’s it for now.
