When the funding rate hits an extreme, I tend to get a bit lazy, honestly there are two ways: either go against the market to ride the sentiment, or just hide so you don’t get shaken out by the volatility. Recently I prefer the latter… It’s not that I’m afraid, but I feel like the market now loves to “suddenly reverse course.” If I really want to take the other side, I only dare to do a small test, and add more once it returns to a normal range, otherwise it’s easy for my mindset to get worn down.
Additionally, the recent speculation about testnet incentives, points, and whether the mainnet will issue tokens has heated up again, everyone in the group seems like they’re fortune-telling. I usually just take screenshots and save them, then in a couple of weeks I’ll see who was the most excited at the time… Anyway, just don’t let the fee rate and expectations push people over the edge together.
