Once the funding rate skyrockets to ridiculous levels, my first reaction isn't "go for it," but to first consider what I really want to earn: if you're chasing the trend, don't fight the rate; avoiding volatility is more peaceful.

If you want to take the opponent's money, you need to recognize that you're betting against emotions—smaller positions and more patience are normal, otherwise getting pierced by a single needle is common.
To put it simply, extreme rates are more like a "crowd density alarm," not a signal flare.

Recently, social mining and fan tokens are quite similar—notice that the more noise there is, the higher the rates seem to be; the excitement is real, and the crowding is real.
I'm now more willing to wait until the unlocks, circulation pressure, and depth are gradually built up before picking up opportunities; slow is slow, but at least I don't rely on luck to survive.
That's all for now.
