Last night, I saw the funding rate go off the charts again. My first reaction wasn't "buy in," but to take a screenshot of that bizarre candlestick and save it to my album... Frankly, what I fear most isn't losing money, but getting emotional and unable to resist adding more positions, and later reviewing the situation feels like watching a recording of myself going crazy.
When the rates are extreme, I now prefer to avoid the volatility first. If I really want to take the other side, I only dare to try small. Those who can win are mostly the ones who can endure, not emotional traders like me. By the way, I see everyone talking about modularization/DA layers—developers look like "the future is here," users look confused. I actually envy their certainty, but I’m more realistic: don’t let the rates set the rhythm, just focus on surviving and accumulating enough screenshots first.
