Hey Joe perhaps you need to take a look at this and create an informal running stable dollar balance for day to day expenses, whilst pocketing the funding rate over time (see article) 

Personally I’ve tried it on BitMEX and whilst the short funding is real I can never quite work out if it’s working as intended 😅 perhaps @TheoMog or @allen can confirm if this should still be practical on a platform like that for retail plebs.
