I used to be really fond of “one-shot gambling.” Put simply, it’s trading sleep for thrills: pretending to have conviction in the daytime, and at midnight staring at the K-line charts like you’re reading a life-threatening notice. Later, after losing on LP got me educated a few times by the ever-changing nature of the market, I finally realized the most expensive thing isn’t the fee—it’s the emotional cost.

For me, grid/DCA isn’t some high-end strategy. It’s just a “switch that lets me sleep”: when it drops, I buy according to plan; when it rises, I sell according to the grid. Whether I make big money or not is another matter—at least I won’t have my mindset stabbed through by a single needle. Meanwhile, one-shot gambling fits those people better who can accept things going to zero and don’t plan to obsessively review every day and blame themselves; otherwise, don’t put on a tough act.

Also, that whole on-chain game setup—its inflation + studio bots + the coin price spiral—basically isn’t any different from the “one-shot conviction game” in essence: fun at the beginning, and later on only whoever gets stuck will know. Anyway, I’ll figure out how much I’m down first, then we can talk about dreams. For now, that’s it.
