Lately, I keep seeing a bunch of terms: data availability, ordering, finality... They sound like exam topics, but I’ve set a main thread for myself: whether the transaction you bought actually "counts" in the end, and whether anyone has jumped the queue or manipulated things along the way. Data availability is whether you can verify the ledger afterward; ordering is about who goes first and who goes last (you get it once you’re caught in the middle); finality is not thinking a deal is done at midnight only to see it rollback in the morning, which can really mess with your mindset.

NFT royalties are also quite similar to this: creators want to secure their income, while traders want smoother liquidity... Basically, everyone’s after “certainty,” just from different positions.

I now treat it more as practice: trade less, change less, set good conditions, then sleep. Missed opportunities are missed—don’t let terminology turn people into emotional traders.
