I used to say “I only look at on-chain,” as if the data could help me sleep. Later I found that when those days of big volatility really hit, no matter how clear the on-chain is, it can’t stop people from imagining the story on their own… Now I’m more willing to admit this: I also look at emotions, I just try not to be led around by them.

Grid/DCA, to me, is like breaking volatility into lots of small cause-and-effect. You don’t have to stake everything on a single “needle,” and before bed, you won’t keep reopening the K线 chart to check whether you’ve made a mistake. Going all-in isn’t impossible either. To be honest, it depends more on your “conviction + stop-loss discipline,” but it really is picky about sleep—especially when you run into that kind of situation where, in the middle of the night, on-chain suddenly shows a whole bunch of same-direction trades, and your heartbeat is more accurate than an alarm clock.

Recently, watching the rhythm of chain-game breakdowns, when inflation kicks in, studios pull back, and coin prices spiral downward, what’s hurt the most is actually “you think someone will step in.” So I’d rather move a bit slower; with Grid/DCA, at least I can still eat and sleep normally… for now, that’s it.
