When the funding rate is extreme, my first reaction is not "rush in," but to wait... wait for confirmation, wait to think clearly. Frankly, at this moment, the market is forcing you to choose a side: either take the other side and scoop up emotional money, or hide from volatility to protect your life. I usually first see if I can withstand sudden price spikes and consecutive liquidations; if not, I honestly reduce my position or close my leverage, don't force it.

Actually taking the other side isn't heroism either; you need a plan: enter in batches, set proper stop-losses, and don't get dragged down by the idea that "it could get even more extreme." Recently, everyone has been criticizing miners/validators for making huge profits, MEV front-running, unfair ordering... I can only say, this on-chain game isn't about playing nice; retail investors shouldn't expect to react faster than machines. Save on gas fees, use Layer 2 solutions when possible—it's the most practical way to avoid paying tuition. Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than become a liquidity sacrifice.
