Recently, people keep asking about data availability, ordering, and finality. It sounds like academic papers, but actually, just focus on one main thread: the validity of your transactions, the coins you transfer, whether they truly "count" in the end, and who has the authority to decide the sequence.


Data availability = Is the recipe publicly available, can everyone reproduce this dish;
Ordering = Who starts cooking first, who cooks later (this part is easiest to manipulate);
Finality = Once the dish is served, can it still be overturned.

In the past couple of days, when the funding rate hit extremes, the group started arguing again about "reversal or continued bubble squeezing," and I feel even more that we shouldn't rely on terminology or emotions—it's all about probabilities: the less transparent the ordering, the more uncertain the finality, and in extreme market conditions, the higher the chance of slippage, front-running, or rollbacks.
Anyway, my usual approach remains the same: keep positions smaller, set stop-losses first, and don't rely on fate to decide.
