I found that unrealized losses really affect sleep more than unrealized gains… Even if I haven't sold, I still feel anxious. To put it simply, it's loss aversion at work: losing a little feels like someone’s taking money out of my pocket, while gaining a little makes me think "I haven't actually taken it yet." So the more I watch the market, the more uncomfortable I feel. My hands get itchy, wanting to add more to average down or frequently switch positions to get rid of that discomfort, but actually it's just buying psychological comfort.



Recently, I’ve seen on-chain data tools and label systems being criticized for being laggy or easily misled. I’m even less willing to see “a certain address is buying” as a lifeline now. Following that blindly only amplifies anxiety. My current approach is pretty simple: first, revoke all unnecessary permissions; then set a range of positions I can sleep peacefully with; if it’s really unbearable, I’ll just turn off the software… That’s how I’m doing it for now.
