Lately, I've been a bit anxious again because of the phrase "On-chain is real."
The swap, liquidation, and balance changes you see might actually be delayed: nodes are syncing, RPCs are queuing, and indexers are still slowly catching up.
What you see as "just happened" might have actually occurred several minutes ago, enough to shift your emotions from calm to hype.
A couple of days ago, during the cross-chain bridge hack, I kept refreshing the browser, and the progress shown on different sites was all different, like watching multiple parallel universes.
And that oracle's abnormal quote—many people in the group said "wait for confirmation," which basically means no one really trusts whether that data point in front of them is accurate.
Anyway, I’m now doing some small arbitrage, preferring to be a bit slower, double-checking RPCs and index sources before acting, and I don’t dare to increase my position casually…
The worst thing isn’t misreading the direction, but being fed a false certainty due to delays.
That’s all for now.
