Today I saw the funding rate spike to an extreme again, and I got a bit itchy, but I really don't want to be a hero. Taking the other side of the trade is obviously tempting, it feels like picking up money, but once you encounter a wave of "the entire market going crazy," even if you make money from the rate, you might lose it all back with a single needle.

Should I go all in?
Forget it, better to avoid the volatility first, and wait for it to cool down on its own.

Honestly, what I’m more afraid of now is emotional trading: seeing extremes and imagining an "immediate reversal," but the market can stay extreme even longer. Anyway, all I can do is keep a small position, slow down, and not get caught up in the noise—just like the recent NFT royalty wars, the more everyone shouts, the more I want to pull my hand back. When liquidity tightens, slippage becomes more real than logic. That’s it for now.
