Stop-loss really is like a breakup; if you drag it out without clarifying, you can still pretend nothing's wrong on the surface, but in reality, you're paying "interest" every day: emotional interest, opportunity cost interest, and even trying to add some positions to prove you're right... Honestly, the longer you drag it out, the more painful it becomes.

I used to chase after low-quality coins too, holding on even after losing money, but in the end, it wasn't about breaking even; it was about losing my ability to execute.
The turning point came in the past two years when I saw the L2 crowd arguing daily about TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies.
I became even more calm: just because they're loud doesn't mean you should hold on to that trade.
Now, I follow a simple rule: don't chase, don't get caught up, don't leverage, admit mistakes, and focus on surviving first.
