I’ve found that my sensitivity to floating losses is honestly ridiculous... Even if it’s only a tiny red on the books, my brain automatically starts inventing all sorts of “what ifs,” and I end up tossing and turning at night. On the other hand, when there’s a floating profit, I’m like, well, that’s pretty good—but I don’t get so excited that I can’t sleep. To be blunt, loss aversion is just this irrational.



These days, there are people again scrutinizing big on-chain transfers and unusual movements between exchange hot and cold wallets, interpreting it as “smart money.” I also get an itch to check it out, but the more I look, the easier it is to magnify my emotions—floating losses start to feel like they’re under a spotlight, being roasted.

My plan for myself right now is a bit like applying patches: don’t dump too much “water” into the position all at once—just make small tweaks and adjustments. Isolate risks where they need to be isolated, watch the market less, and being able to sleep is more important than catching every little fluctuation. For now, that’s it.
