When the funding rate is extreme, my first reaction isn't "fight the other side," but to review the permissions I have authorized myself... Frankly, during times like this, emotions are most likely to get the better of us. The more I want to earn that small fee, the easier it is to overlook the risks. Of course, the opposing side is tempting, but what I fear more is a sudden spike in volatility and liquidity, forcing me to close positions and accidentally give away permissions I previously signed off on. Recently, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and there are many phishing links in the group chat. Everyone is shouting about security but clicking quickly... My current approach is quite cautious: keep positions small, avoid leverage if possible, treat exaggerated fees as noise, wait for the market to cool down, and then decide. For now, this is how I’m doing.
