What I can’t stand most isn’t not making money—it’s that “unrealized loss not yet realized” state. I’m clearly down by ten-ish U, but lying in bed my brain keeps calculating: Should I top up? Should I cut it? In plain terms, it’s loss aversion. Unrealized gains, I can pretend I didn’t see; but unrealized losses feel like someone is ringing an alarm clock in my ear…

It’s the same lately when I run tests on the testnet. I earned a bit of points, and in the group everyone keeps guessing every day: “Will the mainnet issue tokens?” I’m annoyed by the noise, but I still can’t help checking the dashboard. When I see that I spent an extra 0.8 dollars on transaction fees, I feel bad for half a day. Now I set a rule for myself: small mistakes are just “buying a lesson.” If it goes beyond the preset limit, I stop right away and close the webpage. I don’t stay up late wrestling with my emotions. For now, that’s it.
