Good evening. I just saw the funding rate again—it’s getting extremely wild, and both longs and shorts are shouting that they’re hurting. Honestly, in times like this, I usually don’t bother betting which side will win—you have profit to take, you go catch the needle; I’ll stay back and be a quiet cat-daddy, letting the cat step on the keyboard to tally up the sentiment indicators first.
That said, doing a counterparty trade isn’t impossible, but your mindset has to be steady. Set slippage a bit higher, and don’t set the stop-loss too tightly—otherwise, if the market sweeps you away in one move, you’ll really end up as a cash-donating kid.
Lately I prefer opening a hedged position, then cracking open a happy drink and lying flat, letting the cat dance on the keyboard (anyway, it can’t really come up with anything new).
Recently, one major chain is rolling out a big upgrade again. After shutting things down for a few days, everyone’s been speculating whether the ecosystem will “run away,” and whether a migration wave will repeat. Honestly, I checked on-chain—I don’t see panic. The whales are still slowly moving. Brothers, don’t rush. Send a cat pic first to cool down.
When Gas is low, stack more; when it’s high, don’t recklessly charge. That’s it.
