These past few days, I’ve been stuck again, weighing whether grid/DCA or going all-in is better for people who can sleep at night. To put it plainly, going all-in is the most effortless, but it takes the most mental effort—right when you look at your position before bed, your mind starts inventing all kinds of storylines. Grid/DCA is a bit more troublesome: you have to think through the range, the step size, and the trading fees in advance. But once it’s set up, your heartbeat slows down a little—at least you won’t wake up in the middle of the night and feel the urge to refresh.
Especially now that that main public chain is scheduled to upgrade/maintain—everyone in the group is guessing whether ecosystem projects will migrate. As someone who prefers tools, my first reaction isn’t “Will it really take off?” It’s instead: whether the cross-chain costs will increase, whether the interaction paths need to be rebuilt, whether witch risk will become more sensitive due to switching chains… The more I think about it, the more anxious I get. So for now, I’m leaning more toward DCA, giving myself a bit of room for error. Even if I earn a little less, I won’t turn sleep into fuel for profits.
Anyway, I’ll do it like this for now. Don’t push yourself too hard—I’m going to get to work.
