Recently, I saw new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL again. Old users in the group are rushing in while complaining, "Mining, selling..." Basically, this is the time that tests sleep quality the most. If you can accept having your emotions dragged down three times a day by your position, then maybe a quick trade feels pretty good; but as for me, I’m just someone who loves taking notes, and I really can’t handle it well.
The benefit of grid/DCA isn’t making a lot of money; it’s knowing what you’re doing: what range, how often to add, where to stop if you’re losing too much—just write it down and follow it. Anyway, I’d rather miss out on those sudden surges than stay up late staring at the candlesticks and guessing “Should I run now?” As for the incentive runs, if I don’t understand the rules or haven’t checked the audit, I just pretend I didn’t see it. Let’s leave it at that.
