In the crypto world, being trapped is almost a rite of passage for every investor. The most uncomfortable part isn't the loss itself, but losing control of the situation, being led by the market, and constantly reacting passively.



We need to look at this from a different perspective. Being trapped is never the end of the world. First, understand that unrealized losses in your account are just numbers fluctuating and haven't become real losses yet. As long as you still hold positions in BTC, ETH, or other coins, you're still in the game, with chips in hand, and the possibility of a turnaround always exists.

The key is mindset. Don't let short-term volatility disrupt your rhythm, and don't let emotions dictate your decisions. The crypto market is inherently like this—large swings are perfectly normal. Calm down, wait steadily, and once the market reverses, it often only takes a few candlesticks to get out of the trap. Funds are in place, strategies are clear, and when the opportunity comes, you can still control the situation and turn the tide.

Coming back with the same line "Unrealized losses are not actual losses"? I just want to ask, how many people holding those chips actually wait for a reversal in the end, instead of holding until they go to zero... It's easiest to deceive oneself when watching K-line charts at midnight.

Exactly right, hold tight and don't sell, and there's hope; panicking is the real loss.

Sounds good, but when it really comes to a 50% cut, who can hold up?

Talking about strategies on paper is easy; only when you're trapped do you realize what it means to have a mental breakdown.

Just hold tight, don't move around, we're waiting for a comeback.

hypothesis: being underwater in crypto is essentially a liquidity crisis in your personal oracle network—you're experiencing information asymmetry between your entry price and market reality. tbh, the real chain bridge that matters here isn't btc-eth interoperability, it's the one between your conviction and the charts lol
