Just flipped to last night’s “needle tube” candlestick chart screenshot, and I’m laughing to the point of tears. When the funding rate hits an extreme, my mind automatically comes up with a simple idea: “Make the other side pick up the money.” But I see simplicity as a trap — the more it seems like a free gift, the easier it is to push me away. To put it plainly, I’m currently in two minds: either take a small position to be the counterparty, setting a very embarrassing stop-loss; or simply avoid the volatility, close the contract and pretend I didn’t see it, and wait until my emotions cool down before acting.

It reminds me of the recent blockchain game economic collapse vibe: inflation kicks in, studios get squeezed, coin prices spiral downward, and everyone thinks “there will be a rebound,” but it only gets worse. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than collect another “head-high souvenir”… That’s all for now.
