When funding rates hit an extreme, I start to get itchy, but now I prefer to ask myself first: Is this "everyone is too consistent" or "the market really has new information"? If I really want to take the other side, it's not about hard confrontation; I usually only take a small position to test the waters, and the rest is to avoid volatility, waiting for it to relieve pressure on its own. As long as I can survive, there's a next chance to make a move.

Recently, on-chain discussions have been about miner/validator income, MEV front-running, and unfair ordering. Basically, you think you're betting against the market, but sometimes you're betting against others' "queue-jumping rights"... At this point, I prefer to hold back and not let emotions turn into fuel for fees and slippage.

What I fear most is not slowness, but chaos: slow can still be reviewed, but when it's chaotic, I can't even explain why I placed an order. For now, let's keep steady and see how it goes.
