Last night, I watched a position show floating loss—actually it wasn’t much—but my mind simply wouldn’t stop. I kept flipping through it, turning every on-chain transfer into a “signal” or “warning.” When I’d had floating profits before, I’d felt strangely more levelheaded; even then, I would think, “Don’t get too excited too soon.” To put it plainly, floating loss feels like it’s reminding you that you’ve “already lost”—even if you haven’t sold yet, it feels like you truly lost it. It directly hijacked my sleep.

While casually scrolling and getting dragged into the arguments over the privacy coins/mixer wave and the compliance boundary lines, I became even more anxious: on the one hand, I feel that privacy is a basic right; on the other, I’m afraid of an all-at-once crackdown. Rationally, I know I should cut losses / reduce my position according to the plan, but emotionally, I still find myself wanting to wait a bit longer… Forget it—I'll reduce the position size first. At least then I can get myself to sleep.
