Just now, my phone lit up, and that little red dot on the exchange popped up. My heartbeat even jittered a bit. To be honest, no matter how much profit I make, I can pretend I didn't see it; even a tiny loss makes my brain automatically start scripting: Should I cut, will there be another spike, am I about to become Exit Liquidity... The most ridiculous part is, even though I haven't lost my principal, I can still loop that loss screenshot in my mind before bed.



Maybe this is loss aversion, where profits feel like "found on the street," and losses feel like "something I personally threw away." Recently, during the airdrop season, the task platform's anti-witchcraft and point system make it feel like clocking in at work. I find it tiring but still keep clicking... People are just like that; when I lose, I become more clear-headed, so clear that I can't sleep. For now, that's it. I'll pretend to be rational again tomorrow.
