When the funding rate hits an extreme, I get a bit conflicted: should I go against the market to pick up cheap assets, or just avoid it altogether and let the market run wild on its own? Honestly, I currently lean more towards the latter—first check my position and margin, and don't turn myself into a "passive market maker" just for a small fee, as there's a higher chance of hitting sudden explosive volatility.

If I do take the other side, it’s not about fighting head-on; at most, I’d use small positions and split orders, leaving myself an exit route. Recently, seeing the collapse rhythm of on-chain games with inflation + studio + coin price spiral, it reminds me even more: once the system enters a self-reinforcing cycle, short-term counter-trend moves might not be "rational," they could just be luck. Anyway, I’d rather earn less and focus on my chances of survival.
