Life's supposed to be about those peaceful moments, right? Curling up with a good book, complete silence, total zen. That's the dream.



Then you're actually holding a token position and suddenly nothing else matters. You're refreshing the chart like your life depends on it. Every 30 seconds. Every single one. Your heart's pounding at 180 BPM, hands are sweating, and that book you were gonna read? It's been sitting there untouched for three hours.

You tell yourself you're just taking a quick glance. "Just checking the price action for a second." Yeah, right. That second turns into 30 minutes of obsessive monitoring, analyzing every green candle like it's a life-or-death decision.

This is the crypto trader's paradox — the constant battle between wanting peace and completely losing your mind when there's money on the line. One moment you're aspiring to be the calm, collected investor type. The next you're that person who checks the order book more often than they blink.

So much for that silence. 📊

nah this hits different when you've actually blown up a position watching the charts like it's gonna solve itself. technically speaking, that 30-minute "quick peek" is just your brain's way of coping with unrealized losses. learned this the hard way, multiple times. the book stays untouched tho fr

Haha, really, I can't stop once I start looking at the market. That book had long been forgotten in the corner by me.

Haha, it's just ridiculous. That's exactly how I am right now... The books have long been cast aside and neglected.

Haha, that's really amazing. That book is probably covered in dust by now.
