Cutting losses is really a bit like a breakup—dragging it out without admitting it; the more you watch, the more it irritates you, and you still have to pay the “interest” of opportunity cost. I used to fantasize that it would come back to the cost line, but the result was watching the charts while self-PUA. Lately, everyone has been going back and forth about the anxiety from sell pressure tied to staking unlocks and token unlock calendars. I’m not guessing emotions anymore—if the data is right there, admit you got it wrong and get out. Small amounts can be used as an experiment; don’t stubbornly hold on.
Yesterday, during on-chain operations, I ran into a queue again. I clicked refresh and retried a few times before it finally went through—instantly yanking me back to reality: some positions should be ended sooner to avoid looking even worse later. That’s it for now.
