When the funding rate hits an extreme, the group starts arguing about "whether to take the opposite side," but everyone understands: this thing isn't about making money; it's about paying tuition in volatility. I'm pretty cautious myself; when I see the rate is exaggerated, I usually rebalance my position first, forget about leverage, and prefer to earn less than get pierced by a needle.

And recently, the debates over privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance have become even more intense. Basically, there's an extra layer of uncertainty, and I don't want to gamble on emotional reversals during such times. Occasionally, when I get itchy, I might do small opposite trades, but only if I can withstand the worst-case scenario... Anyway, the main strategy is still dollar-cost averaging, slowly enduring, and not turning boredom into an explosion.
