I am increasingly feeling that the choice of strategy doesn't matter; what's important is whether you can fall asleep. Grid/DCA, to put it simply, is about freeing yourself from the "must be right now" mindset, so that even if you're wrong, you can slowly even out your position. When you wake up, you mostly just glance at the TVL and your holdings, and your mindset remains intact. Conversely, if you go all-in and win, it's satisfying; if you lose, you start telling yourself stories: wait a bit longer, add a little more, it will reverse soon... then you watch the market all night, and your tea goes cold.
Recently, the funding rate has again reached an extreme where the "community is arguing loudly," with some saying a reversal is coming, and others saying the bubble is still inflating. I trust data more; at least it won't change its tune because I get anxious. Intuition, this thing, is usually only "accurate" when I haven't slept well. Anyway, my conclusion is very simple: if I can avoid getting up in the middle of the night to check my phone, then that strategy is suitable for me.
