Recently, the funding rate has been extremely volatile, and I feel like I'm listening to an old radio suddenly filled with static: a bunch of people shouting in the same direction, it sounds pretty intense, but it's also the easiest way to get "blown up" by a "trigger point." To put it simply, either take the other side to catch that wave of emotion, or pull your hand back into your pocket to avoid the fluctuations. I'm leaning more towards the latter now... It's not that I don't want to make money, but I realize that I tend to get brainwashed easily when I get impulsive. I clearly want to take the opposite side, but I end up fueling the trend instead.
By the way, I've been looking into social mining and fan tokens, where they talk about "attention equals mining" every day. It sounds pretty right, but sometimes it feels like packaging noise as a mining machine, getting more and more addictive the more I scroll. There are many tutorials, but I actually prefer those that teach how not to be led by rates and emotions. Don't make it too mysterious; just something that helps me avoid reckless moves. That's all for now.
