To be honest, floating losses really can cause more insomnia than floating gains. When I have floating gains, I default to thinking "this doesn't count as mine," and it's normal to consider a pullback; but once I have floating losses, it immediately becomes "I've lost what I originally owned," even if it's just on paper, my heartbeat changes. Loss aversion is pretty sneaky: with the same volatility, the loss side carries more weight in the mind, like amplifying the noise.



Recently, cross-chain bridges have had issues again, and oracles report outrageous prices, everyone rushes to "wait for confirmation," I can understand... because the less certain, the easier it is to think of potential losses as certain losses. My clumsy approach is: keep positions small enough to sleep well, and if I really want to hold on, use options to cap the worst-case scenario, don't rely on willpower to tough it out. I’m not sure if this counts as mature, but sleep is more valuable than face.
