I am increasingly feeling that grid/DCA is actually like "buying a good nap," while a one-shot trade is more like "betting you won't be able to sleep tonight." To put it simply, whether you can withstand drawdowns or tend to be impulsive about adding positions or cutting losses determines which is suitable for you, not which strategy is smarter. For someone like me who just wants to see the returns broken down by source, high APY with short-term gains and risk coverage is not something I dare to go all-in on.
Lately, hardware wallets being out of stock is also ridiculous… phishing links are everywhere, and the more emotional you get, the easier it is to click the wrong one. Anyway, I now set fixed amounts and fixed times for dollar-cost averaging and grid trading, and try not to look at the market too much during other times. I also pay more attention to domain names when signing on-chain, taking it slow is not shameful.
My partner also complained, "You said you’re conservative, so why are you staring at the yield table every day as if working overtime?"… I don’t know either, maybe just because I don’t want to be dazzled by APY, so I’ll leave it at that for now.
