#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 In this market cycle, there's a phenomenon that really hits home—when adding to positions, it's almost always done at a loss, and very few people actually add when in profit. Just thinking about it is outrageous.

$BTC $ETH $SOL The recent performance of these mainstream coins is very typical: when they rise, they surge straight up, going several days without a pullback; but as soon as a downtrend begins, they keep falling, and rebound opportunities are scarce. This kind of one-sided movement makes the decision to add to positions extremely difficult—psychologically, there's always a desire to wait for a better entry point, but in the end, it often results in deeper losses.

BTC4,51%

ETH7,55%

SOL4,9%

Still forcing it even when trapped, isn't that a suicidal move? Your mental preparation is too poor.

Add more when in profit? Ha, I've never experienced such happiness. It's always full position locked in and having to grit my teeth to DCA, truly insane. The one-sided trend of BTC and ETH this wave has made me want to liquidate, but I'm also scared, so I still have to bet on the next round.

It proves to be the dilemma of human nature... Greed during temporary gains and luck during temporary losses are completely reversed. No matter how perfect the technical indicators are, they can't save the chaos at the decision-making and execution level.

Adding when in profit is indeed rare; I also regretted it only after getting trapped.

Based on on-chain data and the irrational assumptions of behavioral economics, this phenomenon of "hard adding floating losses and observing floating gains" is actually a typical manifestation of loss aversion bias. It is worth noting that this precisely validates Kahneman's prospect theory—the decision weight coefficient for losses is 2.25 times that for gains. From a tokenomics perspective, the behind-the-scenes reason for the one-sided trend of BTC and ETH is essentially an imbalance in the incentives of liquidity providers. Specifically, when volatility exceeds a certain threshold, arbitrage opportunities disappear, and retail investors' position-adding behavior becomes a textbook case of "gambler's fallacy." Therefore, rather than obsessing over position-adding points, it’s better to build a dynamic rebalancing framework based on DAO governance—using the algorithmic stablecoin model proposed in the white paper, automated execution will be about 47% more accurate than manual judgment. But no one really wants to do this, right.

Honestly, chasing positions during paper profits is simply beyond human capability; we're all greedy animals. I've long given up on waiting for the perfect entry point. Now, it's just dollar-cost averaging to reduce anxiety. The hardest part is when the market is single-sided; the rebound window flashes by, and next time, who knows how many days later it will be. This wave of BTC's rhythm is indeed outrageous. It skyrockets like a rocket, and when it falls, it does so without hesitation. Mental resilience is the biggest lesson; it's more effective than any technical analysis. I've already accepted it—paper losses are just paper losses. Keep adding to my position.

Hey, at the end of the day, it's all about mindset. When there's a floating profit, the hands shake; when there's a floating loss, we grit our teeth and add more... Why are we all so counterintuitive? Waiting for a "permanent bottom" at the right position, I really can't help but laugh.

Wait, adding more when in profit? Bro, are you talking nonsense? In reality, hardly anyone dares to do that. It's usually when they're trapped that they grit their teeth and add more, thinking they can break even, but the deeper they go, the worse it gets. This is our daily routine.

Wait, when there's unrealized profit, I actually hesitate more to add. The psychological barrier is indeed tough. Really, BTC's current rhythm is amazing, soaring sky-high when it goes up, crashing straight to the floor when it drops, with no rebound at all. I truly can't understand those who say "wait for a better position." They keep waiting, getting more and more trapped, it's hilarious. It's really just greed acting up. Increasing positions, honestly, depends on your mindset. The MSCI news doesn't seem to have much of a reaction either, are they just celebrating themselves?
