I find myself unable to sleep, and it’s basically not because I earned less—it’s because that little floating loss keeps getting amplified in my head, even though I haven’t sold, it somehow feels like I’ve already lost… Loss aversion is way too real. When I have a floating profit, I think, “Just hold it for now and deal with it later.” But when I’m in a floating loss, I start flipping through the K-line charts, checking on-chain data, and looking up what other people are saying—the more I look, the more panicky I get. Recently, someone tied together ETF fund flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and the ups and downs in the crypto market into one explanation; in plain terms, hearing it too much makes me even more anxious: it’s like every red or green move needs some grand reason. My dumb little workaround is to write in advance, “Can I accept the worst-case scenario?” If I can, I just close the app and go to sleep. Anyway, I still believe in it, but I trust myself more not to treat a floating loss like doomsday.
