Stopping losses is really a bit like breaking up, dragging it out and refusing to admit defeat, the little bit of "hope to come back" on the books becomes more and more expensive the longer you wait, and your mindset also gets drained. To put it simply, cutting it early and admitting you were wrong can actually save interest (and emotional costs), and it can also refocus your attention on how to handle the next trade. Recently, meme + celebrity calls have stirred up the atmosphere again, and newcomers get excited and easily become the bag holder; I now pay more attention to whether there are real transactions/retention on the chain. No matter how beautiful the white paper is, if execution can't keep up, just forget it. Anyway, if you lose, admit it, don't turn the loss into a "long-term relationship."
