TechFlow news — On December 13, Shencat posted on X: "Every single 'buying more as prices rise' transaction is, in essence, not a market trade but a trade of self-worth. Adding positions isn't driven by new market insights, but by our need for greater profits to sustain an inflated self-illusion. The market becomes a mirror; what we're addicted to isn't the gains themselves, but the image of an 'invincible' self reflected in that mirror.
This is why all advice regarding trading discipline and systems—though correct—fails to truly change behavior. You cannot use technical solutions to fix an existential problem. The greatest irony? We think we're using money to gain wealth, but in reality, we're using wealth to purchase a false sense of self-identity. In this trade, we were destined to lose from the very beginning."
