Do you ever feel like you clearly see the right direction, but your account still gets slowly drained? Actually, many times it's not that you're wrong, but the value of time is quietly eating away at you: when you're a buyer, it's like ordering a double shot, the first few sips are enjoyable, but every minute afterward you're paying a "seat reservation fee." If the market isn't fast enough or aggressive enough, you'll get worn down and lose your composure.
But sellers shouldn't be too proud either. Honestly, you're collecting others' "time taxes," while also bringing home the tail risk. Usually, you earn slowly, but occasionally a big wave hits and wipes out all the small wins you've accumulated before. Recently, the so-called "compound yield" staking strategy has been criticized as a "nested doll" approach. I think it’s quite similar to a seller’s mindset: looks great when stable, but once the underlying issues arise, the chain reactions can be very annoying... Anyway, I’m now more restrained, willing to hold fewer positions, so I don’t get educated by both time and greed at the same time.
