Don't always say "It's all written on-chain," because many times what you're seeing is "someone else moved it here for you." Whether the node is synchronized, whether your connected RPC is overloaded, or whether the indexer is catching up—all these can make you think you're seeing real-time data, but in fact you're already several minutes late or even longer. Then you use this to judge popularity, chase orders, and when slippage hits, you blame the market—it's pretty unfair.

Recently, the collapse of that blockchain game set also looks similar: once inflation kicks in and the studio runs away, everyone stares at the dashboard data and comforts each other, but the data itself might be lagging behind... To put it plainly, first confirm that what you're seeing is "now," then talk about strategies. Otherwise, replaying the past only affects your mindset.
