Recently, I truly felt that "paper losses are noisier than paper gains," even though it's just a digital number, my brain automatically translates it into "you made a mistake." When I'm making paper profits, I tend to relax more, thinking that a retracement is normal; but as soon as there's a paper loss, I start monitoring the market, reviewing my trades, looking for reasons, and I can't help but check again before bed... Basically, it's loss aversion—losing 1 dollar feels worse than the pleasure of earning 1 dollar.



In the group these days, there's been talk about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various rumors about "de-anchoring," spreading emotions faster than information. My current habit is: first look at on-chain fund flows and exchange depth as "signposts," then decide whether to adjust my position; if I don't understand something, I keep my trades small and hold some cash, waiting for the fog to clear. It's not a talent, just something I've developed from being scared a lot; in the long run, being able to sleep peacefully is more important than earning a few extra points.
