Just came across old news from the end of the last bull run, everyone was criticizing the liquidation as "nonsensical," and now thinking about it, many times it's not that you're bad at trading, but that the feed price was a half beat slow. You think you have some buffer, but the oracle price didn't keep up, your position still looks fine, but on-chain liquidation bots don't care about your mood: once they get the updated price, they'll liquidate everything that should be liquidated in one go, with slippage + fees stacking up, and the feeling is like "suddenly it's gone." So now I’m very cautious about using leverage, preferring to earn less rather than risking the data source and network congestion for those few minutes. By the way, recently there's been talk about social mining and fan tokens, saying attention is mining… honestly, attention is indeed valuable, but it’s also like delayed price feeds—hot and lively at first, but liquidation happens just as fast. Anyway, I’m just watching for now.
