When I was younger, I was also the type to go all-in. I thought grid trading/DCA was just annoying. When it went up, the profits weren’t enough; when it went down, I couldn’t average down properly—purely a waste of time. Turns out, the moment I went all-in, I ran straight into congestion. The Gas burned faster than my principal, and it basically gave me insomnia.
These days, I’m a lot more sensible. Whether it’s grid trading or DCA, to put it plainly, it’s just trading with your own gambling instincts. Do you want to hand your sleep quality over to K线, or to a robot? For me, it’s the latter now. Even if I make a little less, at least I won’t wake up in the middle of the night with a full bladder and then, on impulse, check my positions.
Recently I’ve been watching the Layer2 space—people are comparing TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies, and the online back-and-forth is going at full speed. But honestly, no matter how fancy the tech is, if someone’s Gas acts up or a sequencer stalls, you’re still going to curse. In the end, what it really comes down to is the kind of strategy that lets you sleep at night.
That’s it for now. I’ll keep watching my Gas monitoring and occasionally tweak my little tools. Grid trading is for people like me who can’t be bothered to think.
