After finishing yoga and scrolling the market again, my hands started itching again… To be blunt, I can’t hold my spot positions because my position size is too heavy—I’m afraid that even a small rise will turn into profit-taking and I’ll end up giving it back. For futures, I get liquidated because the position size is even heavier, and I still won’t admit I’m wrong. Now I’ll give myself some plain, human words: keep your position small enough that you can sleep, the kind where even if the direction is wrong, you don’t feel heartbroken. Lately everyone keeps talking about staking unlocks and token unlock calendars—I get nervous too, but I’d rather reduce my position in advance to the point where, on the unlock day, I don’t have to stare at the screen. In the end, I’m more the type to grind my patience slowly than the type who uses one aggressive move to prove myself. That’s it for now.
