Today I stepped into a puddle on my way out, wetting half of my pants, and my mood was that kind of "no more fuss" state... When I checked the market later, I found that the funding rate was becoming extreme again, and a bunch of people in the group were arguing about whether to take the other side of the trade. Honestly, I usually don't like to fight against emotional trading like this; high funding rates are tempting, but the volatility can also hit hard, especially if you haven't figured out where to set your stop-loss.

My usual approach is: take a step back first, see if there's obvious leverage stacking too densely on the chain, or if liquidation positions are crowded together; if I really want to take the other side, I only use a very small position, and the rest I prefer to stay away, and look at some relatively stable yields in the ETH ecosystem (of course, not risk-free). Recently, I’ve been comparing RWA, US Treasury yields, and on-chain yield products, just for reference—I don’t get too excited and think "on-chain is more profitable." Anyway, I’ll take a sip of coconut water first, slow down a bit, and live longer.
