I’m increasingly convinced that grid/DCA is basically just giving yourself “sleep insurance”… The thrill of going all-in is fun, but at night I always end up getting up to take a quick look; my heartbeat follows the K-line, and by the next day I’m just done. To put it plainly, I’m better suited to slowly accumulating—even if I can’t catch that very top, don’t drain your own emotions.
Last night I checked the on-chain activity: in a certain pool, a big liquidity addition was split into 7 installments, each separated by about ten minutes. They also conveniently shifted a few tiers of limit orders down a bit, and it felt like someone was “laying down a road,” not rushing. In any case, these details feel more real than what people shout about in the group chat.
Recently, testnet incentives and points have started to get hot again, and everyone’s guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… I’ll also get the urge to click a couple of times, but I’ll treat it like a small-lot lottery game and not let it disrupt the rhythm of my main position. I admire people who are suited for going all-in—at least I’m not; I just want to sleep through the night.
