Today I saw the funding rate spike to an outrageous level again, and I was itching to take the opposite side, but honestly what I’m more afraid of is “being right on the direction but getting wiped out by volatility.” My current habit is pretty mechanical: first check if I still have unfinished milestones this week (bridge, swap, claim), if there are tasks, I’ll put aside leverage thoughts, preferring to earn less rather than blow up my mindset.

In extreme rate situations, if it really comes to that, I only use small positions and set proper stop-losses; otherwise, I just avoid it and go on-chain to pick up some low-volatility tasks. Recently, new L1/L2 projects have started offering incentives to pull TVL, with old users complaining “mining, selling,” yet still rushing in. I’m about the same… tired but still here. Anyway, I automate what I can, and leave the rest to fate.
