Looking at $TAKE's recent market movement, my judgment was correct—these kinds of coins that are completely bottomed out tend to have much longer rebound cycles than expected. I already suffered a loss with $FOLKS; it's been half a month since I got in, and the funds keep flowing out, almost losing over $100.

I still hold onto the hope that I can easily get out someday, but the reality is that the longer I wait, the more uncomfortable it becomes. I know I should cut losses in time, but once you're trapped, the sunk cost is right there— the more reluctant you are to sell, the longer the position stays locked. This is probably the cruelest psychological trap in trading.

Damn, in half a month, the funding fee has dropped over $100. This mentality is so broken that I feel bad for you... Wait, your judgment is correct, but why are you still holding on and stubbornly refusing to sell? Sunk costs are truly poison; the more you want to recover, the deeper you get trapped. Selling at a loss is hard, but it's better than continuing to bleed... I agree that the rebound cycle is long, but the prerequisite is to survive until that day, brother. Actually, you should have sold early, and now it's too late to regret. I also saw people losing money during the FOLKS round, why are you still posting in TAKE? Psychological traps are indeed cruel, but you're just committing suicide like this. What are you waiting for to cut losses? The recovery is far away.

Over $100 lost in half a month—that's the price of a gambler's mentality. If I had known earlier, I should have just cut it off directly.

In just half a month, over $100 has floated away, I knew waiting for this trick was hopeless --- That’s a very harsh statement. I’ve also jumped into the trap of sunk costs, and I’m becoming less and less willing to cut losses --- $TAKE$FOLKS these bottom coins, really have such a long rebound cycle that it’s suffocating --- Setting stop-losses sounds easy, but actually doing it is really hard. Without mental preparation, you can only endure --- Hey, this is why some say that the hardest part of trading crypto is not the technique but the mindset --- The feeling of funds slowly eating away at the principal, those who’ve been trapped know it well --- It’s the influence of sunk costs again. The more you don’t want to admit defeat, the deeper you fall, right? --- Over $100, and accumulated it’s a lesson learned through blood and tears --- $FOLKS, did you also get caught in that round? We are truly fellow sufferers --- The more you wait, the more uncomfortable you feel—that really hit me. I now have a deep understanding

Over a hundred dollars in funding fees over half a month, this trap is a bit deep... To be honest, I have a deep understanding of the opportunity cost — it's hard to bear to cut... Waiting for the bottom rebound sounds simple, but in reality, no one can really endure it. But on the other hand, TAKE and FOLKS both seem to be encouraging more buying hype.

Over $100 in funding fees evaporated in just half a month. This is the real death spiral. I just can't understand why people are only willing to cut losses when they are forced to. I've also looked into $FOLKS's approach, and the trap is indeed deep, with rebound cycles being ridiculously long. The concept of sunk costs is truly the most toxic poison in trading. Knowing you should cut losses but still unable to do so. From the way you look, it seems a bit too stubborn. Sometimes letting go is actually a form of relief.

Half a month has passed without cutting, isn't this just a vivid example of sunk cost fallacy? The funding fee is crazily draining, haha --- Basically, it's a psychological betting game. Knowing you should cut losses but just can't press that button --- $FOLKS I'm also in. I'm already numb now. Anyway, whether I cut or not, it's a loss --- This feeling... seems like a reflection of myself yesterday, the more I wait, the more hopeless I become --- The funding fee is over 100 and still holding on. How big must your heart be, brother? --- The most frightening thing is this chronic death, even more uncomfortable than a direct limit-down crash --- Off-topic, will $TAKE's rebound period be longer than $FOLKS's? --- Sunk costs really drive people to despair. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all-in to cut losses --- Isn't it better to cut losses? Forcing the funding fee to the point of bankruptcy
