I found that grid/DCA is really good or not, honestly it depends on whether you can sleep well or not. The thrill of a single shot is exciting, but you have to be able to accept the impulse to check the K-line in the middle of the night; I personally prefer grid + gradual position building, like stirring pudding, a bit slower and more even, losing money in a "rhythmic" way, so it doesn't blow up your emotions all at once.
Recently, the yield stacking from staking and shared security has been criticized as "copying the doll," I can understand that. The returns look layered, but the risks are stacking too... In such times, a single shot is even less suitable, as it easily amplifies uncertainties.
The extra step I’m willing to take for safety is quite simple: rather than trouble, put the main funds in a hardware wallet, and do small on-chain transactions; wait a few days before trying new protocols, and wait until everyone has stepped on the mines before I move. Anyway, sleeping well is more important than earning that little extra.
