I've been accumulating old coins, waiting for a rebound opportunity. Based on historical data, after a period of stability, these types of assets often experience a 10x or more increase—it's been stable for a long time this time, just waiting for that wave of market movement.

But there's a serious issue to consider: the funding rate for leveraged trading. Fees are deducted every hour, and the longer you hold, the more terrifying the costs become. Without a strict take-profit and stop-loss strategy, high funding rates can turn even the most promising market into a loss due to costs.

The current plan is to observe the funding rate for a week to understand the daily costs. If the fees exceed expectations, decisively abandon the leverage plan and switch to spot accumulation. After all, long-term gains from cryptocurrencies are the real key; short-term profits eaten up by fees are simply not worth it.

Fee rates are truly the hidden killer; being optimistic about the market is pointless. --- HODLing spot assets long-term is the right way; don't get caught up in short-term fees. --- A 10x increase sounds great, but only if you survive until that day. --- You really need to calculate the funding rate clearly; otherwise, even the best opportunity can lead to losses. --- Spot trading is the way to go; forget about those flashy tricks. --- A one-week observation period isn't enough; this thing is too volatile. --- Many people have been wiped out by fee rates; brother, your idea sounds reliable. --- A 10x rebound? First, figure out how long you can survive before talking.

Fees can really be deadly; my friend was literally drained alive because of them. --- HODLing coins is fine, but don't touch leverage—it's just helping exchanges print money. --- A 10x increase sounds great, but in the end, a 5% daily fee eats it all up, making it pointless. --- I agree with the last point; long-term holding is truly the way. Don't be blinded by short-term small profits. --- Observing fee rates over a week is a good idea, but I think most people will still be greedy and end up getting trapped inside. --- Just hold spot coins properly; if you insist on playing with leverage, don't blame yourself for losses. --- Historical data doesn't guarantee future results, but your risk control awareness is definitely much clearer than most people.

This fee rate is really an invisible killer, I’ve already taken a loss before. Wait, 10 times? That’ll take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to accumulate. Funding rates are just slowly bleeding you dry, you can’t really feel the pain. Spot trading is the way to go, don’t bother with the fee rates. HODLing coins is not urgent, it all depends on who can endure until that market wave. Leverage is a trap, I’ve learned to be smarter. When the fee rate is high, entering is like giving away money, better wait and see. This time, you really need patience, but the fee rates are indeed annoying. Long-term holding is the only way to survive, don’t even think about short-term.
