Recently, I realized that what I fear most is not earning less, but the floating loss hanging there. Even though my position isn't large, my mind keeps flashing pop-up notifications in the background, and I can't help but glance at it before bed... Floating gains are actually more casual; I think, "I haven't taken profits yet," and I don't take it seriously. To put it plainly, that small loss automatically amplifies into "Did I mess up?" and my body tightens up before my rational mind does.
These past two days, everyone has been talking about staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, and the anxiety of selling pressure. When the selling pressure comes, I also start imagining various waterfalls, even though I tend to be neutral and diversify my touchpoints, I still get pulled by emotions.
Forget it, to put it plainly: I now prefer to earn less rather than keep that most uncomfortable "can't sleep over position," and leave some space that allows me to turn off the lights. Anyway, the market is there every day; if I lose sleep, it's really gone.
