I found that the biggest difference between grid/DCA and a single shot isn't how much you make, but whether you can sleep at night. I understand the thrill of a single shot, when the K-line jumps, my heart races along, and the result is waking up in the middle of the night to check on on-chain transfers, afraid that the project team’s wallet is “rebalancing positions” again... Honestly, for someone like me who loves studying collapse samples, the more exciting it is, the easier I get hooked, and the more I get hooked, the more likely I am to fall into traps.
On the other hand, grid/DCA might not be as dramatic in returns, but at least the emotions are more stable. Losing money feels more like paying tuition monthly, and I don’t have as much desire to turn the tide. Recently, the group has been repeatedly discussing screenshots of stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors. After seeing them so many times, I just want to laugh: the more these situations happen, the more people doing a single shot are easily scared into panicking sell-offs or chasing after the market. Anyway, I now care more about “being able to eat normally tomorrow,” so that’s how I’ll proceed for now.
