🧾 Funding is like utility bills in crypto.
You hold a position in futures.
You don’t do anything. Just wait.
And Binance deducts money. Every 8 hours.
And you don’t understand why?!

📌 This is funding.
You pay if the majority of traders are on your side.
→ Holding Long — you pay if the market is also Long
→ Holding Short — you pay if everyone is shorting
⸻
This is a fee for balancing supply and demand.
But in fact — it’s a tax on the crowd.

💡 Lesson:
Funding eats into your profit, even when the market is stagnant.
Watch the rate. Or you’ll pay for your “patience”.
