Lately, I’m still stuck between grid/DCA and going all-in. To be honest, it boils down to what kind of sleep you want… For someone like me who’s been educated about gas fees, I basically don’t dare to go all-in. When I rush in, for those few minutes my heart starts racing, and then the rest of the day I’m glued to the charts. If I can’t sleep, I’m also more likely to make impulsive changes to my plan. Grid/DCA is like giving yourself “autopilot.” Whether it makes money or not is another story—at least it won’t wake you up in the middle of the night to check whether you got backstabbed and had funds taken through some kind of attack.

And also, this whole on-chain sorting/MEV situation that everyone is complaining about so loudly right now—miners/validators getting the meat while retail investors end up drinking the broth—this feeling is back. I really don’t want to go all-in when it’s the most crowded, just to pay for gas fees as fuel. The information environment is nothing but noise. My one-and-only noise-canceling strategy is: look only at the rules I wrote in my own little notebook—when the trigger conditions are met, then I act. For other group messages, I mute them first… Anyway, trades made on emotions when you’re overheated usually end up paying “tuition” to gas fees in the end.
