After years in the crypto world, many people share a common frustration: watching the fluctuations in their account balances can easily cause emotional instability. There's a simple trick that can significantly improve this issue—change the asset display unit on the exchange to RMB.

This change may seem simple, but it can actually greatly reduce psychological volatility. When viewing account changes in USD or other currencies, those numbers' ups and downs appear especially sensitive. But after switching to RMB, the relative fluctuations are less glaring, and your mindset becomes more stable. Especially in volatile markets, this trick is quite effective. Many seasoned traders use this method to regulate their emotions, and the key is to stay rational and not be scared by the numbers.

Haha, this trick is really awesome. I'm now viewing it in RMB, and my mental state is top-notch. Switching to a different currency to view the account really can deceive oneself; the smaller numbers make me feel much better. Isn't this just self-deception? I like it. The RMB display is truly a mental salvation for retail investors; no deception. I've been doing this for a long time, and the effect is indeed quite good. I've used this trick for half a year, and it really helps stabilize my mindset, though I still occasionally switch back to USD to check... As expected, mental construction is the most important; playing the number game skillfully.

Haha, this trick is really brilliant. I had already switched to RMB a long time ago, and my psychological pressure was halved instantly. Really? Just changing the unit can fool yourself? Let's try it first. RMB definitely looks much more comfortable, otherwise the dollar numbers are too scary. Isn't this psychology? Smaller numbers make you feel better. Wow, so many people are using this, I thought only I was this clever. After switching, it’s definitely more stable, but when losing money, nothing can save you. I'm the other way around, switching to USD actually makes me more clear-headed... This is self-deception, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The RMB number looks huge, which actually makes me more exhausted... Experienced traders all know this trick, new traders only focus on the numbers and collapse.

Haha, this move is really brilliant. I already switched to RMB long ago, so it doesn't feel so heartbreaking. Switching to a different currency view of the account, the mindset becomes immediately stable, it's that simple and straightforward. But to be honest, no matter how much I change, I can't alter the fact of my losses, hahaha. It still depends on dollar-cost averaging and mindset; changing the display unit is just self-deception. What's the use of switching to RMB? It's still a 50% loss, just not as obvious. The mental breakdown is because I don't have any chips, not because of the display unit issue. This is just burying one's head in the sand, no matter how small the number, the loss is still the same.

Haha, this trick is brilliant. I already switched to RMB a long time ago, otherwise watching the dollar fluctuate daily would really give me a heart attack. Changing the display units is truly a psychological masterstroke in the crypto world. Wow, it actually works. After changing it, my mindset is much calmer, as if I didn't see those fluctuations. Isn't this just self-deception? No matter how the numbers are displayed, I can't change the fact that I lost money. The survival wisdom of veteran traders—sometimes, not seeing it makes life easier. I reversed my approach and switched to smart coin standard, so the drops feel even worse, but I can stay clear-headed. This is a top-level psychological strategy, a hundred times more comfortable than looking at candlestick charts. It does help a bit, but I still prefer watching the dollar, as it makes my losses more straightforward...

Haha, this move is really genius. I've already switched to RMB long ago, otherwise my mental state would explode every day. --- Changing units can fool yourself; the self-cultivation of crypto people. --- This is called "Financial Self-Deception," change your perspective and the account won't seem so bad haha. --- I've tried, and it really works... but when you lose money, you still lose, brother. --- The survival way of old seasoned investors: change the currency, change the mindset, and next, change your life. --- Basically, it's a numbness to numbers method; not seeing clearly helps you sleep. --- I just don't look at my account... that's the ultimate solution. --- After switching to RMB, I realized I'm still poor, and I cried. --- That logic is brilliant. Losses are still losses, just look more comfortable? --- My friend figured it out long ago; now switching to fiat currency is an absolute trick.
