Today I looked at the dashboard, and the funding rates are starting to go off the charts again... Honestly, my first reaction as a bystander isn’t to rush and take the other side, but to pull my hands back first. Extreme rates are indeed very tempting, like “free money,” but when volatility hits, positions get whipped around, and the mental toll is more expensive than the fees. Usually, I wait until it returns from the extreme to a more normal level before acting, preferring to earn less and sleep better.

Recently, everyone has been talking about AI Agents, automated trading, on-chain interactions, running strategies with one click. It sounds pretty cool, but also a bit slow to catch up… Anyway, I’m currently more concerned about permissions, authorizations, and whether the contracts are clean—so I don’t end up missing out on the rates while my wallet gets leaner first. I’ll observe the complex stuff for now, and do less with the simple ones.
