When the funding rate hits an extreme, there are immediately two types of people in the group: one says "Money is coming, take the opposing side," and the other says "Don't touch it, the volatility can turn people into meme faces."
I used to love showing off and taking the hit, but later I realized I’m the kind of person without backups: when emotions collapse, all operations are lost.
Now I’ve more or less made a "backup"—when I see the rate exaggerated, I reduce my position first, widen my stop-loss, and keep some bullets.
If I really need to go against the trend, I only use a small position as a test.
If I’m wrong, I just treat it as a corrupted backup file—delete and restart.
By the way, I want to complain that modular, DA layer narrative developers are so excited they’re like holding a product launch, while users are still asking "So will my wallet be faster?"
Anyway, when it comes to things like the funding rate, the excitement belongs to them.
I’ll first make sure I back up my own survival.
