I’ve found that things like grids/DCA are essentially just paying for myself to get some sleep… By splitting the position into smaller parts, even if I hear rumors of “depegging” in the middle of the night, it just makes my heart thump for a second—I won’t end up shaking so badly that I misclick a button. On the other hand, going all-in is definitely thrilling, but you have to admit that the anxiety of staring at the correlation of the collateral before bed—checking whether the liquidation hot spots are drifting toward your side—really can drain a person.
Last night, the group was still passing around stuff about stablecoin regulation and reserve audits. Basically, the more it gets repeated, the more it starts to sound like it’s actually true. I almost impulsively added leverage, but in the end I changed it to slow DCA instead. At least then I can put my phone down.
Let me share a small mood too: for a while, I was pretty into people who “go all-in” right away. But the more I saw, the more I started imagining my own liquidation scenario… Today, I unfollowed them directly so I don’t get dragged along by their momentum. That’s it for now—staying alive is the most important thing.
