These days, someone is again promoting "one-click passive income" with AI Agents + automated trading.
After hearing it, I just want to laugh... To put it simply, grid/DCA actually is more like buying insurance for sleep: you don’t need to watch the market and can follow your plan slowly, staying calm.
On the other hand, a quick, impulsive trade is fun, but at night your mind will automatically replay it a thousand times—worried about a rebound if it goes up, or having trouble sleeping if it drops.
What I fear most isn’t losing money, but being hacked in the middle of the night with bots randomly signing permissions, interacting on-chain with a bunch of incomprehensible transactions, and waking up to find my wallet emptied.
Now I’d rather earn a little less, and even if I delegate strategies to scripts, I still double-check permissions, limits, and contract addresses... Hasty is fine, but don’t rush so much that you treat security as air.
That’s all for now.
