Floating losses are really more troublesome than floating gains. Clearly not sold yet, but the mind automatically treats it as "already lost." When making a profit, it's easier to feel light: if it hasn't been pocketed, it doesn't count as mine; when losing, it feels very real, like owing someone a debt, and I can't help but refresh it before bed... Basically, loss aversion is messing with me.



Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock again, phishing links are everywhere, the more anxious I get, the easier I am to make quick mistakes. After authorizing, I realize it too late; it's already done. Now I prefer to check the market less, periodically clear my permissions, and treat unfamiliar links as bombs. Reminders may not be heard by anyone, but I still have to send them. Losing money isn't scary; losing it on a rookie mistake is what really makes me angry.
