I used to think that liquidation was far from me, as long as I didn't chase highs or use too much leverage.


Now, after messing around with stablecoins and re-staking, I realize that oracle price feeds are really quite critical:
You think the price is stable, but in reality, the price feed is slow by half a beat, and the on-chain side treats you as "dropped" first,
when your position hits the line, it gets liquidated with a snap, and only after you refresh do you see the quote catch up...
To put it simply, delay = you are bearing an unseen risk for a longer period.

Now I try to choose protocols with multiple price feeds and visible update frequencies,
avoid leverage if possible, leave some buffer, and earn a bit less so I can sleep peacefully.
By the way, it reminds me of recent social mining and fan tokens, shouting "attention is mining,"
it's lively, but once attention disperses, the price feeds and liquidity can't keep up,
and the first to suffer are these liquidation mechanisms.
Anyway, I don't dare to put too much on them.
