Have you ever felt a knot in your stomach, cold sweat, and irrational anger towards a token that promised the moon and is now worth cents? Welcome to the club!
1. The Anger of "Unrealized Loss" (UL): 💔
What happens: You see your portfolio in red. You haven't sold, but you already feel like the money "disappeared."
Why it hurts: Our brain hates losing. Losing $100 is more painful than gaining $100 is satisfying. The Unrealized Loss (UL) is a constant blow to your sense of achievement and security.
Frustration and guilt. Why did I buy that? Why didn't I sell earlier?
2. The Betrayal of the 'Promised Project': 🤥
What happens: The narrative was incredible: 'We will revolutionize the world!', 'We will have the best ecosystem!', 'We will be the future!'. And now... nothing.
Why it hurts: You invested not only money but also hope and belief. Feeling that you were deceived or that the team did not deliver is a personal betrayal.
Disillusionment and cynicism. 'They are all scammers!'
3. The 'Angry Mob Effect': 🗣️
What happens: You go to Twitter, Reddit, or Telegram and see thousands of others with the same feeling. Everyone complains, curses, and accuses.
Why it hurts: Social validation intensifies your own emotions. You feel part of an army of 'hodlers' (now 'haters') united by common pain.
Hate feeds back and becomes a meme. The token becomes the villain of the story.
4. Denial and the Search for Blame: 🕵️♀️
What happens: It's hard to accept personal responsibility. We start looking for someone to blame: 'the manipulating whales', 'the incompetent devs', 'the SEC', 'my friend who recommended this!'
Why it hurts: Blaming others is a psychological defense to protect our self-esteem. If it's not our fault, we are not 'bad investors'.
Obsession with the 'scam' narrative or 'manipulation'.
What to do with so much hate? 🤔
Acceptance: Losses are part of the game. Not all investments will go well.
Learn: Analyze what went wrong. Was it due to FOMO? Lack of research?
Remember, in the crypto world, emotions are as volatile as prices! Keep a cool head and your strategy clear.
