These days, everyone is arguing again about whether grid/DCA is "cowardly" or if going all-in is the true faith... Honestly, when choosing, ask yourself first if you can sleep well at night.
My biggest fear isn't losing money, but losing control — it's not the money itself, but the moment you stare at the chart in the middle of the night, your hand trembles and you completely overturn your plan.
Grid/DCA for me is more like outsourcing emotions: set the range and rhythm, then leave the rest to time and liquidity, at least not treating every fluctuation as the end of the world.
Going all-in isn't impossible either, but you have to accept regulation — a single macro statement can distort inflows and outflows on exchanges, so your mindset needs to be tough.
By the way, recently, on-chain data tools and tagging systems have been criticized for being laggy or misleading, and I agree: don’t treat "certain address = certain institution" as gospel, and if you really rely on it to leverage and go all-in... forget it, just make your position something you can sleep peacefully with.
