I’m increasingly feeling that things like grid trading/DCA are about buying sleep, not returns… Anyway, when I go all-in, I tell myself, “What are these fluctuations even,” but at night I still wake up and check the chain on my phone. When TVL drops, I feel shattered, but I can’t stop myself—classic tough talk.
Recently, that mainstream public chain is set to upgrade/maintain, and everyone in the group is speculating whether the ecosystem will migrate. I’m anxious too: if it really migrates, the one moment when liquidity gets pulled away—someone who went all-in will probably have a complete mental breakdown. With DCA… at least you know you’re spreading out the emotional burden.
If I hadn’t gone all-in back then and instead added bit by bit over the course of the week, maybe I wouldn’t have had to stubbornly endure the drawdown and question my life. But then again, in the instant FOMO hits, who even remembers anything about “better matching sleep”… That’s it for now—I’m not looking at the K-line before bed (I probably won’t be able to).
