The glow from my phone screen was the only light in the room at 2 AM. ADA was dipping, just a little, I told myself. "It’ll bounce back, it always does." My initial $50 long was already down $15. My gut screamed, "Cut it!" But my brain, fueled by hopium, whispered, "Double down, lower your average." So I added another $100. Then another $100. Each time, the liquidation price just moved closer. My stomach churned, a cold dread spreading. That last $200 "top-up" evaporated in minutes as ADA decided to visit hell. $600 gone. Just like that. The silence after was deafening. Anyone else ever convince themselves the market *owed* them a reversal?
