I’ve been educated by myself again: when the same position isn’t sold, unrealized losses can wear you out until you wake up at midnight, while unrealized gains let you sleep pretty well. To put it plainly, when I’m losing, my mind keeps inventing the plot—“Should I cut my losses?” “Will it just get worse and worse the more I lose?” Even with a small position size, it feels like I’ve got a little stone on my back. When I’m winning, I tell myself it’s just something I picked up; if I lose it, it doesn’t hurt nearly as much.

These past few days in the group, stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and all kinds of “de-pegging” rumors are being forwarded back and forth. I know most of it is probably just an emotional amplifier, but I still can’t help myself—I keep scrolling and checking. The more I check, the more anxious I get. Later I thought: instead of trying to “defeat” loss aversion, I should treat it like practice. Before bed, don’t check the group, don’t stare at the K-line charts—write in advance what I’ll do if something really happens. Then leave the rest to tomorrow’s self… I’d rather miss out than pay for sleep with it.
