When the funding rate goes absolutely insane, I actually get a little itchy and want to trade against it. But honestly, the last time I did that I got buried, so now when I see those numbers I freeze for three seconds first.

Over on the blockchain gaming side lately, the tokens are being printed faster and faster, studios running their bots, prices sliding down like a water slide—looks familiar? Same script, just a different stage.

I've started recording my emotions at these extreme moments—not strategy templates, just writing down whether I felt like "I want to go in" or "I'm actually scared." Looking back, it's hilarious how easily I get caught up in the momentum.

Just got back from a run, funding rate still hasn't come down. Forget it, leaving it as is.
