I’m increasingly feeling that grid/DCA is more like buying “sleepable insurance”—a single rush where I trade sleep for thrills. Plainly speaking, I’m like someone watching the mempool like watching a bus: when I get an itch, I want to charge in and grab that one moment. But most of the time, I just end up getting hit with slippage and “educated” by my own emotions… Especially lately, everyone’s been complaining that validators/miners are getting too well-fed, MEV ordering isn’t fair, retail traders are lining up like they’re being cut in line, and the more I look, the more worked up I get.

I need to be reminded: don’t treat “I saw it” as “I can win.” Grid/DCA at least means I don’t have to stare at what’s happening in the blocks every minute. If I lose, I know it’s losing according to the plan; if I win with a single shot, I’ll get floaty, and if I lose, I start blaming the chain, blaming the ordering, blaming the whole world. Anyway, I’ll lock that impulsive part in a cage first, keep some ammo—sleeping well matters a little more than getting rich quickly.
