Having been dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin for 270 days, I'm almost back to break-even. This round of market fluctuations has indeed been a rollercoaster, but from another perspective, this is actually the best window to continue DCA—cheap assets are often missed this way.
Recently, I've been considering a different approach. Instead of purely DCA passively waiting, why not try spot grid trading? The benefits of grid trading are obvious—during volatile markets, you can buy the dip and lower your average cost, while completely avoiding the risk of liquidation in futures contracts. DCA is about trading time for space, while grid trading is about turning volatility into profits; they follow different logic.
This wave of Bitcoin market movement has given us many insights—know when to hold steady and when to be flexible.

Grid trading sounds good, but the key is whether your mindset can handle the actual execution.

Hey, 270 days and you're almost breaking even. Why are you still messing with grid trading? Do you think you have too much money?

This market trend indeed tests patience; taking 270 days to break even shows that the previous losses were quite severe.
Grid trading sounds good, but risk awareness must keep up. While volatile markets are enjoyable, once the trend becomes clear, it's easy to get caught.
I still prefer a combination of dollar-cost averaging and partial grid trading, rather than putting all chips into a single strategy.

Grid trading sounds good, but don't be scared off by stories of getting chopped up; the key is still to understand the market conditions.

270 days and you still haven't broken even? Man, your dollar-cost averaging entry point must be way off, I can't help but laugh.

Grid trading sounds good, but how many people can really stick to it? It's still better to invest regularly, less to worry about.
