Recently, I saw a bunch of people rushing to test the network and刷交互, claiming it's "product experience," but deep down they're really betting on whether the mainnet will issue tokens or if points can be cashed out. To put it simply, this is quite similar to grid trading/DCA or a one-shot: are you buying for profit, or are you buying a night’s sleep.
I personally prefer grid/DCA strategies, not because I think they are particularly clever, but because they embed the possibility of "I might be mistaken" into the script in advance, so even if I lose, I won't be jolted awake in the middle of the night checking candlesticks. Conversely, a one-shot can be exciting; winning feels like being chosen by fate, but losing starts to make you look for narratives of failure, eventually turning into the kind of project wreckage I often study.
So if you really want to ask which method better matches sleep: if you're the type who gets itchy without watching the market, a one-shot might actually help you settle down; if you're afraid of losing control emotionally, it's better to split your bets into batches and not leave your sleep to the guesswork of "maybe tokens will be issued." That's all for now.
