Over the past couple of days, I’ve been seeing new L1/L2 incentive campaigns to boost TVL. In the group, some long-time users were complaining about “mining, selling…”. But honestly, it’s normal—human nature. Anyway, what I care about more right now is this: grid trading/DCA, or going all in—what fits my sleep better.

I get the appeal of going all in. The logic is simple: once you’ve spotted the opportunity, you act. But the problem is you have to keep staring at it. When volatility picks up, your mindset starts riding the roller coaster with it. What I fear most isn’t losing money—it’s losing control. It’s like, even though you’ve written out a plan, the moment the market jolts, you can’t help adding to or cutting your position. Then you wake up the next day and realize you’ve been trading purely on emotions.

Grid trading/DCA isn’t as thrilling, but it hands the question of “when I should move” over to the rules. At least before bed, I won’t keep asking myself whether I bought too early. Sure, profits might be slower, but the emotional cost is really low. For someone like me who loves watching on-chain experiments, but doesn’t want to hand my life over to candlestick charts, being steadier is pretty attractive. For now, that’s it.
