I found that unrealized losses really affect sleep more than unrealized gains… Clearly telling myself during the day "it's just fluctuations," but at night my mind starts replaying: Did I enter too early? Should I cut now? Unrealized gains are easier to ignore, but when I make a profit I’m afraid of giving it back, so I keep watching, and in the end, I tire myself out. Basically, it’s probably loss aversion—feeling the pain of losing 1 dollar is way worse than the pleasure of earning 1 dollar.



Recently, Meme and celebrity calls have caused another round of attention rotation. Watching the excitement, but the old player’s advice “Don’t take the last baton” really stuck with me. I’d rather take it slow in batches, earning less is okay, at least I won’t wake up with a racing heart.

My partner also complained: You’re pretty normal when you’re not trading crypto, but as soon as you have unrealized losses, you start tossing and turning at midnight like you’re mining… Fine, I’ll lower the leverage first; being able to sleep is better than anything.
