I just realized recently that my tolerance for "floating losses" is really quite low. Even when I haven't sold and haven't truly lost money, I can't help but glance at it twice at night, with my mind full of "Should I cut my losses?" "Should I switch to another L2 for some incentives?" Conversely, when I have unrealized gains, I sleep soundly, possibly subconsciously thinking that the gains are just luck, while losses are my own fault. In other words, I have a strong loss aversion.



These days, I've been testing on the testnet again. Everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will launch tokens or whether the points are worth anything. I also get tempted, but the thought that maybe in the end, there will be nothing at all makes that "I wasted my time" feeling more painful than "gaining a little more." Now I no longer chase explanations; on-chain randomness is just randomness. All I can do is control my position size, not spend fees recklessly, and not let emotions take over just because of expectations... That's all for now.
