Just finished watching the funding rate, and I saw a bunch of people there getting anxious about staking unlocks and token unlock calendars. Honestly, for something like sell pressure, watching it doesn’t really help—whatever’s supposed to happen will happen anyway. Better to first take care of what you can control—like wallet security.
My asset size is neither big nor small. If I keep everything on exchanges, I definitely won’t be able to sleep, but setting up a hardware wallet feels a bit like overkill. After thinking it through, I only use a few addresses in practice. Multisig is too much hassle, and social recovery isn’t really necessary for me either. So I went with one cold wallet and one hot wallet: the cold wallet holds the bulk, and the hot wallet keeps a little “pocket money” for playing short-term trades. Set up your stop-loss properly—if the funding rate looks off, just get out. In plain terms, the best setup is the one that fits your own size. Don’t make things overly complicated just to show off.
