I find that I can't sleep not mainly because of how much I've earned, but because those small unrealized losses keep replaying in my mind: clearly I haven't sold, but my heartbeat feels just like a real loss. The unrealized gains instead quickly become something I think "it was supposed to be like this," and I even want to wait a bit longer... Basically, it's too real that loss aversion is strong—feeling the pain of losing 1 dollar is several times worse than earning 1 dollar.



Recently, watching new L1/L2 projects incentivize to pull TVL, old users complain "mining, selling," and I can really empathize: you work hard to build the ecosystem, but a bunch of people come in just thinking about cashing out, watching the excitement on-chain, but inside they’re actually more anxious, the same feeling as the floating unrealized losses in your account.

Right now, I can only use a simple method: keep my position smaller, not look at K-line charts before sleep, just glance at large transfers on the chain... for now, that's it. I’m going to redraw my stop-loss line.
