My current understanding of stop-loss is a bit like a breakup: the longer you drag it out, the more you want to "give it one more chance," but instead of reconciliation, interest and slippage end up biting you together. To put it plainly, admitting defeat is not dignified, but it's the most cost-effective, especially when liquidity is thin, a single click can cause slippage to pile up, and the more you add to your position, the more it feels like pouring water into a pit.

Recently, I’ve seen new L1/L2 projects offering incentives to attract TVL, and I can really empathize with old users complaining about "mining, selling, and withdrawing": the excitement belongs to them, but most of those who stay to take over still have to consider routing, transaction fees, and whether there's enough depth when exiting. If you really want to gamble, fine, but at least write down "what if I’m wrong" in your mind first—don’t rely on pride to tough it out. Anyway, I’d rather take a small loss and walk away now than let a single mistake turn into a long-term subscription.
