I've been stuck in the "waiting" phase lately: waiting for confirmation, waiting for callbacks, waiting to think things through clearly. Honestly, grid/DCA feels more like buying insurance for sleep; once it's set up, you don't keep a close eye on the market, and you can profit from both rises and falls. But the obvious downside is that if the market suddenly runs away, you're just eating noodles while watching others add meat.
A quick trade is exciting, it's satisfying, but it also easily wakes me up in the middle of the night... especially when new L1/L2 incentives boost TVL, and the group chats are both rushing and complaining "mining, selling," my hands get itchy, but my brain reminds me: you're gambling on emotions, not logic.
Anyway, I'm leaning towards: small position impulsive trades, big positions patiently DCA/grid, at least I won't want to delete the app when I wake up in the middle of the night. For now, that's it; I'll change when I truly understand things someday.
