I find that what I can't handle the most isn't earning less, but the floating losses hanging there. When there's a paper profit, I can pretend to be dead: anyway, it hasn't been realized, and the ups and downs are just background noise; but once there's a paper loss, it's hard not to refresh and check, afraid to see it, yet wanting to see it. Right before bed, when I impulsively open my wallet, it's all over, and my mind automatically starts writing scripts like "Should I cut my losses?" "Am I too greedy?"



Recently, I even unfollowed an account I used to watch regularly because of this... I initially wanted to learn some new chain gameplay, but he kept arguing about NFT royalties every day, claiming who profits and who loses with absolute certainty. When I have a paper loss, it's easier to get influenced by the narrative, and the more I watch, the more annoyed I get. So I just turned it off for some peace. After calming down for a few days, I followed back again, mainly because I have to admit: the market just keeps arguing about "creator income" and "secondary liquidity," and there's no avoiding it. But at least, don’t add fuel to the fire when my emotions are at their worst.

Now, the rule I set for myself is pretty simple: during floating losses, look at my position less, focus more on the rules (like whether the airdrop conditions have changed), sleep when it's time to sleep... Basically, what I lose is money, what I endure is life, so that's how I’ll start.
