I’ve realized that what keeps me from sleeping the most is never the small gains I missed, but that tiny floating loss hanging there, like a flicker in the corner of my eye. Honestly, making a hundred dollars makes me happy for five minutes, losing a hundred dollars keeps me thinking about it all night, and my brain automatically magnifies the “could it get worse” thought many times over, even if the position isn’t actually large.

Later, I simply set reminders and limits for myself: a notification when the price hits a certain level, and an automatic reduction if the loss exceeds a threshold. The moment I set that up, I felt calmer—like handing over the power of “should I act now” to the rules, so I don’t stare at the screen until my emotions are drained.

Recently, Layer 2 solutions are arguing fiercely over TPS, fees, and subsidies. I think the market looks more like this: when subsidies come, liquidity thickens for a while, and the sentiment follows. Anyway, I care more now about whether I can fall asleep, rather than chasing that one needle.
