Recently, someone asked me again if grid/DCA is "too slow," honestly I mainly choose it so I can sleep peacefully... I’ve also tried the thrill of quick trades, but lying in bed at night, my mind still focused on the K-line, and I feel drained the next day. On the other hand, grid or dollar-cost averaging feels like a walk, treating ups and downs as road conditions. If you can accept it, keep going; if not, take fewer steps.
A couple of days ago, I muted the group chat, and the world suddenly became much calmer, and my mood stabilized. Especially now with social mining, fan tokens, and the loud calls of "attention is mining," I get itchy just scrolling through messages. The more I look, the more it feels like trading sleep for points... Forget it, I’d rather go slower, at least I’m not using emotions as fuel. Anyway, when choosing a strategy, in the end, it’s not about the profit screenshots, but whether you can stick with it long-term and still live a normal life.
