I have seen many KOLs mention rollover trading while popularizing trading knowledge. I researched a lot of material, most of which is very professional, but I want to write clearly about what rollover actually is and how to do it practically from the perspective of someone who is also learning. --- What is rollover? Simply put: Rollover = Replace the contract that is about to expire with the contract for the next period. It's like your rental is about to expire; instead of terminating the lease, you renew it for a new period. But in the contract market, it's not called 'renewal', it's called 'closing the current position and reopening a long-term contract'.
We thought we were using Ethereum, but we are actually just standing on someone else's consensus.
Most people first heard of Ethereum because it can 'issue tokens', 'create NFTs', and 'support smart contracts'.
But I want to talk about it from another perspective —
Ethereum is a programmable trust platform, but you may not really trust it.
What exactly is it?
Ethereum is not a coin; it is more like a combination of a world-class database + settlement platform + application system.
It can be seen as an apple store without a boss, where anyone can develop and deploy smart contracts (like apps), allow users to use them, and settle through ETH.
The market is like a dog. Its disobedience is not its fault; it's because you haven't understood its behavior logic. I am a dog trainer. In reality, the first lesson in training a dog isn't to teach it to 'sit,' but to teach you how to observe it. I entered the cryptocurrency space because my family was scammed into a crypto 'seminar.' I started researching the market, trying to understand: why some people act like hunters during volatility while most can only follow the trend and get hit. The more I study, the more I feel: the behavior logic of the market is essentially like a dog, a collection of emotional, reflexive, and conditioned responses.
