Interest on a car loan is predictable. Perp funding is unpredictable.

[CryptoTroubleshooter]

A car loan typically has a fixed interest rate.

Perpetual futures funding rates fluctuate, and traders may pay or receive funding.

Cars also have variable interest rates, but I guess the majority go for fixed interest rates. Comparing this interest rate with the funding rate, which is also called an interest rate, might not be an ideal comparison. But bro, it is true that we can't expect it to be stable because funding rates can be extremely high if you are trading a coin with low liquidity or if it is highly volatile.

A trader here, oshosondy, once shared his story that he opened a trade and lost the profit because the funding rate was so high. I think he was the one who shared this story, but I am not fully sure.

Well, bro, always check the funding rates before opening a trade because you can make a good profit, but if the rate is so high that your net profit is still zero, then it is of no use.

What you expressed are two sides of the financial realities between volatility and certainty.
While a car loan with fixed interest rate shows certainty, the flunctaution of perpetual futures trading rates is a result of volatilities of the market and this creates the opportunity to earn profit or make losses if care is not taken on strategy of deployment. Hence why risk management is absolute principles to safety of capital during investment and trading.

It is better you look at other people's posts and see the way they are posting than to just come to the forum to post what is not necessary at all, car loan is not related to the trading people are discussing about on this forum, but funding rate can be taken or deducted from a trader depending on if the funding rate is negative or positive and the position the trader opened. All these was not explained by you but you just made a low value post.
