In the past, when I saw extreme funding rates, I always wanted to rush in and take the opposite side, thinking "If they're giving away money, I might as well take it." Now, I tend to avoid it first: if the rate can become that extreme, it means emotions have already pushed people to the edge of a cliff. If I do the opposite, I need patience and position; otherwise, one sharp move can teach people a lesson... Honestly, I’d rather earn a little less than be kept awake by volatility.

Sometimes I really want to take the opposite side, I’ll split it into smaller parts and do it slowly, preferably with a clear stop-loss, don’t just hold on stubbornly. Social mining, fan tokens—those "attention is mining" schemes—used to be something I was quite curious about. Now that I’ve seen more, I think they’re just as extreme as the rates; the excitement is real, and so are the risks. Anyway, I’ll first have a sip of coconut water, calm down, and then hit the confirm button.
