I’ve found that I’m really especially sensitive to floating losses. Even if I’m only down a little over ten dollars, I end up tossing and turning at night more than when I’ve made a hundred. To put it plainly, it’s loss aversion: once the account turns red on paper, it feels like I’m being watched and docked points, and my brain automatically starts looking for “Should I cut?” and “What if it’s worse tomorrow?” The more I think, the less I can sleep. By contrast, when I’m sitting on floating gains, I’m surprisingly calm—I even start to wonder if it’s just luck, and I’m afraid that when I wake up, it’ll all be given back.

Over these past two days, that main public chain is upgrading/maintaining, and everyone in the group has been guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate—I got anxious too… But the truth is, I didn’t have a heavy position at all. On-chain, I only put in 0.02 as a test, and even so I still can’t help checking my wallet every ten minutes. Anyway, my current approach is: when I’m at a floating loss, I first close the page, then hard-wait 15 minutes before deciding—at least so I don’t randomly hit buttons when my emotions are at their loudest. For now, that’s it.
