Recently, when the funding rate skyrocketed to some ridiculous levels, I actually didn't want to "prove myself." Taking the other side of the trade sounds exciting, but honestly, you're racing against emotions and leverage; winning once doesn't mean you won't crash next time. I usually ask myself first: Is this wave "everyone is too aligned," or is there "new money pushing on the chain"? If I can't tell the difference, I prefer to avoid the volatility, staying in cash also counts as holding a position.

If I force myself to take on those extreme rate reverse orders at that time, it's likely I wouldn't lose on the direction but rather get washed back and break my mindset. By the way, these days, before and after that main public chain upgrade, the group has been guessing whether projects will migrate... I think it's more reliable to see if real users are following along than just looking at hype. When there's a lot of activity, I'll watch; when it's quiet, I'll wait. That's it for now.
