When funding rates hit an extreme, I get a bit itchy and want to do the opposite trade, but then I think better of it... Honestly, during those times, market sentiment is already very chaotic. You think you're eating meat, but you might be catching a flying knife. I usually have two options: either keep my position very small and pretend I didn't see the spot; or simply avoid the volatility and wait until the funding rate returns to normal. Opposite trades are not impossible, but I care more about signatures, authorizations, and positions—small details—so I don't want to turn myself into a "hot wallet all-in-one" just for that tiny fee. Recently, I've also enjoyed watching the L2 community argue over TPS and subsidies. It's lively, but amidst the chaos, I want to slow down more. Anyway, what I fear most isn't slowness, but disorder—when things get messy, it's easy to slip up, sign incorrectly, or open positions recklessly. That's all for now.
