A few months ago, Degen Spartan, an anon DeFi trader and member of Egirl Capital, posted an article on the difference between “playing to win” and “playing to not lose.”
The whole premise was to take your foot off the gas and “play to not lose” (don’t blow yourself up or lose significant capital) when the risk-to-return ratio was not in the trader’s favor. However, for some, the easiest way to avoid losing is simply not to play at all.
