Recently, the funding rate has been extremely volatile, and I’m a bit conflicted: should I take a bite against the opposing side, or just hide and play dead? To put it simply, the more the rate fluctuates, the more it looks like a collective sentiment K-line; in the short term, it’s indeed easier to turn around, but the moment I extend my hand, the volatility shakes like a peacock displaying its feathers, making me dizzy… So most of the time, I’d rather wait for it to cool down a bit, then follow the structure slowly, and not compete with the market to be more stubborn.
By the way, hardware wallets have been out of stock lately, and phishing links are everywhere. Everyone’s suddenly hyper-aware of security, and the scene feels pretty cyberpunk: on one side shouting about decentralization and freedom, on the other clicking links faster than anyone else. Anyway, I’d rather do two fewer trades now than risk my account over a tiny fee rate. That’s how I’ll play it for now.
