Let me tell you, I realize I’m really quite "afraid of losing"... Even though my position hasn't changed, during the day I see that little red mark of unrealized loss, and by evening my mind starts to overthink: Should I cut? Should I switch pools? But the same magnitude of unrealized profit makes me much calmer, at most thinking "Oh, it's okay," then I just keep browsing other things. To put it simply, the loss feels more like being slapped, while the profit feels like finding a dollar—pleasurable but not lasting.



It's even more obvious when doing LP; the slow, steady income from fees feels solid, but as soon as the price swings or impermanent loss appears, I instinctively think of it as "really losing." Actually, many times it’s just fluctuations; once the range comes back, it’s gone, but sleep doesn’t follow logic.

Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2s are launching incentives to attract TVL, and old users complain about "mining, harvesting, selling." I can understand that too—everyone fears ending up holding the red numbers when the last person takes the hit. Anyway, I’m trying to pick pools I understand, small positions to test, not to be led around by short-term unrealized losses... That’s all for now.
