When the funding rate hits an extreme, I start to get itchy: on one hand, I want to be a "counterparty" to catch the bottom of the market sentiment, and on the other hand, I’m afraid of being swept back and forth and doubting my life. Honestly, I prefer to avoid the volatility first, wait until it goes from "collective euphoria" back to normal breathing before acting, after all, I’m the kind of person who forgets everything after minting—when impulsive, I often forget to take profits...
Recently, the airdrop season has been quite funny, with task platforms acting like anti-witchcraft measures, making it feel like clocking in at work, and the points system driving people crazy. Anyway, I’d rather earn less than prove how smart I am when the fee rates are the most outrageous, only to be educated by the market in the end. For now, I’ll just do this—when I get itchy, I’ll go browse some community jokes to calm down.
