When the funding rate hits an extreme, I start to get conflicted: should I take the other side and pick up some quick profit, or just hide and play dead? Honestly, the other side looks like a "freebie," but in reality, it's a battle of emotions and leverage—winning is strategic, losing is paying tuition to the market... I usually reduce my position first, leaving a small amount to test the waters, the kind I can sleep soundly with.

Recently, isn't there more chatter about miners/validators eating too well, and MEV and ordering being unfair? In such times, the volatility feels more like it's "orchestrated," and retail investors rushing in can easily turn into fuel. There are many tutorials, but I prefer those that teach how to survive: how to cut positions, when to fold, how not to get wiped out by a single needle. Tonight, I guess I’ll be making some snide remarks again during the review session. That’s all for now.
