I’m increasingly feeling that the essence of trading is really choosing whether you can sleep well tonight or not. Going all-in and winning feels awesome, but the backlash of losing—the kind where you wake up in the middle of the night to scroll the K-line—is also very real. Grid/DCA is a lot more boring: you earn a little less when it rises and then slowly pick things up when it falls, but the emotional swings are smaller, which suits someone like me who can just sit there daydreaming even when they see congestion fees.

Recently, that same chain-game “crash script” is playing out again: inflation loosening the money, studios grinding bricks, and the moment the coin price turns, it spirals downward. Put simply, this kind of environment makes it easier to push people into “either go all-in to bounce back or resign yourself to it,” but I still prefer to slice up my position and leave myself a bit of flexibility. After all, if I can sleep, then I’ll have the patience to wait for the next time the blocks aren’t so jam-packed.
