These days, the funding rates are a bit extreme again. My first reaction isn't to rush and take the other side of the trade... Honestly, I'm more afraid of being educated by the volatility. The other side looks attractive, but if the market continues to twist and turn, what I can't handle is still my mindset and margin, ultimately turning into "earning some rate but losing on liquidation."

Now I prefer to lower my expectations; as long as I can catch a little bit, it's much more relaxed.

By the way, I see everyone talking about modularization and the DA layer, with developers' eyes shining brightly. On the user side, it's basically "so what does this have to do with me"... Anyway, I still focus on where the returns are coming from and whether there are hidden risks in staking. When the rates are extreme, I prefer to avoid volatility, wait for it to cool down, and then slowly get back into the rhythm, like a slow-heating, long-lasting vinyl record.
