These days, I've been staying up late trading contracts, and I realize that the thing that affects my sleep the most isn't even the lack of profit, but the floating losses hanging there... Clearly knowing that I haven't settled yet, but my mind keeps calculating, "If it drops a little more, will I feel even worse?"
Floating profits are more like money found on the street—happy for a moment, then gone; floating losses are like a strange permission hidden in the contract—if you don't understand it, you'll keep obsessing over it, the more you think about it, the harder it is to sleep.
Recently, those new L1/L2 projects are offering incentives to attract TVL, and old users complain, "Mining, then selling," I can understand: the position you've worked hard to build, when a wave of incentives ends and hits, the pain of floating losses is much greater than the thrill of floating profits before... Honestly, people are like that, the pain sticks more firmly in memory.
