Today, the funding rate is once again extreme, with half the group shouting "take the opposing side to eat the rate," and the other half advising "avoid volatility first, don't fight it head-on." I personally lean more toward the latter... To be honest, I’m doing airdrops, aiming to steadily turn the wool into salary, and I don’t want a hedge trade to blow up because of one mistake. I could also take the opposing side if I wanted, but I only dare to use small positions, set proper stop-losses, and even if the fee rate is attractive, I don’t want to get stopped out in the middle of the night.

Recently, the debate over privacy coins/mixing coins and their compliance boundaries has been quite intense, which makes me a bit exhausted—there’s just too much information, and it really causes anxiety. My filtering method now is pretty crude: I only look at two types—official announcements/on-chain data, and put other “hot takes” aside for now, only considering them if they still hold up the next day. Anyway, surviving longer is more important than anything else.
