When funding rates are extreme, my first reaction isn't "fight the other side," but to ask myself: can I handle this wave of volatility? Honestly, extreme rates mean everyone is crowding to one side; in the short term, it might be profitable, or it could be a needle that directly pops your position. If you really want to take the other side, that's fine, but don't get carried away—keep your position small, set clear stop-losses, and don't turn "earning funding" into "paying tuition to the market."

Right now, I prefer to stay on the sidelines, wait for the market sentiment to cool down before acting.

Recently, I've been observing the cycle of inflation + studio manipulations + coin price spirals in blockchain games, which feels similar to extreme funding rates: people rush in to exploit, and in the end, the market collapses under the pressure.
Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than get wiped out in a wave and end up getting caught by contract permissions issues.

I'll go review the unlimited authorizations for my commonly used contracts, revoke all the unfamiliar ones while I'm at it, and start from there.
