Used to be addicted to quick flips in the NFT secondary market, buying and then immediately watching the floor price, my phone vibrating and my heart pounding along... sleep quality dropped to zero. Later, I moved into DeFi and realized that grid trading/DCA is basically "breaking down emotions into small parts," you don't need to participate in every candlestick, at least you can sleep through the night.

But grid trading isn't all-powerful, when faced with a sharp upward or downward move, your "strategy" will be mocked by the market. Conversely, quick flips aren't inherently wrong, you just need to plan your exit route first, or you're just treating luck as a strategy.

Recently, Layer 2 is again arguing over TPS, fees, and subsidies over who is more aggressive. It reminds me of the NFT project teams arguing over their roadmaps back in the day... Anyway, I now ask myself before choosing a strategy: can I sleep peacefully through this trade? If I can sleep, then I’m qualified to enter.
