Lately, I've seen the group arguing again about grid/DCA and a single sweep. Honestly, I only look at one indicator: whether you can fall asleep at night. Grid/DCA is quite similar to node operation and maintenance—gradually spreading out, and when something goes wrong, it doesn't cause a mental breakdown; a single sweep is like pushing all validators onto one machine—it's comfortable most of the time, but when a fork or halt happens, you'll be immediately wide awake until morning.
The speculation about testnet incentives, points, and whether the mainnet will issue tokens is the same—many people get itchy and rush in just because "it might happen." As for my approach: only let positions that I can afford run automatically, keep some ammunition for black swan events, and don't gamble your sleep away. Let's talk about it next time.
