These days, we're talking about concurrency and sharding again, and the group chat is lively as if we're about to move on immediately. I listen and get excited, but also reflexively tense up: no matter how new the story is, it's still the same money, and what I fear most is that no one mentions safety and exit strategies. Especially when the funding rate is extreme, everyone starts guessing whether it's a reversal or just more bubble squeezing. People like me with more emotional volatility are more easily led by the rhythm, then a slip of the hand might turn "can withdraw" into "definitely can withdraw." To put it simply, the narrative is fireworks, but the exit route is the oxygen. Next time, I will first write down whether I can exit in time, the risks of bridges and contracts, and position limits on a sticky note before taking action... When you encounter extreme funding rates, how do you prevent your emotions from pushing you around?
