#数字资产市场观察 trapped is not the end of the world, what really matters is that you become numb while being trapped.
I have seen too many people who have lost 30% on paper still comforting themselves with "I'll break even," only to see their investments cut in half again and again, resulting in both capital and mentality collapsing. When it's time to cut losses, don't hesitate—holding onto a wrong position will only continue to bleed, and accepting a small loss is better than holding on until it goes to zero.
But don't panic and cut your losses just because of one loss. Some positions are indeed worth holding on to, provided that you've done your homework: the fundamentals haven't collapsed, the overall trend hasn't changed, it's just a short-term fluctuation. In such times, enduring the pressure often allows you to wait for the moment of rebound.
To put it simply, there are two ways to go from being trapped to being freed. Either admit you misread the situation, cut your losses and exit, and start over; Either confirm the logic and stick to it until a breakthrough.
The key is not to wait blindly and aimlessly; you need to have an idea in your mind. With patience and preparation, you are likely to receive a pleasant surprise in the end. Blindly holding on? That's called gambling with your life.

Numbness is the highest form of self-deception... One careless move can turn an investor into a gambler.

You are right, it's the mindset that is the easiest to fail at. Watching it fall to the limit while still self-hypnotizing that you can recoup investment, in the end, both the principal and the mindset are truly lost.

Really, being numb is scarier than losing money. I've seen too many people just end up despairing like this.

Numbness is the real killer; a bunch of people around me have become Tied Up Knights like this.

It's too true, numbness is the biggest killer. I've seen people around me lose up to 40% and still hypnotizing themselves, and as a result, it dropped to zero. It's really something.

Numbness is really the biggest killer; being able to sleep soundly despite such losses on the books means either you're go-with-the-flow or you've already given up.
