These days, I've noticed the funding rates are getting a bit outrageous again, and I feel itchy to take the other side of the trade... But honestly, what I’m more afraid of is being swept around by volatility, earning the fee but losing the direction, and ultimately losing my composure. My approach is still like gardening: in extreme situations, I cut some risks first, lower the leverage, hedge if I can, whether I make that fee or not doesn’t matter, just don’t pull out the roots.

The AI agent and automated trading wave has also been quite noisy. Some people are hyping “fully automated passive income,” while simultaneously granting huge contract permissions. I don’t touch black boxes anyway, and I prefer to minimize on-chain interactions, and take permissions when I can. I also screenshot and save key pages just in case there’s a dispute later… That’s it for now.
