These past couple of days, monitoring the market has become a bit annoying. I’ve noticed that many people aren’t losing because they’re wrong about the direction; it’s because the oracle feed is lagging behind. You think you have a safety cushion, but on-chain calculations are already based on the old prices. When the quotes update, liquidations happen all at once to make up the difference, giving the feeling of a sudden margin call… Honestly, it’s not “being hit by the market,” but being hit by the delay. Small investors can’t withstand this as well. I now prefer to use less leverage and instead check the feed frequency and whether there are backup sources—don’t just chase high interest rates.

By the way, the NFT royalty disputes are also getting heated, which is quite similar: everyone wants certainty, but when secondary liquidity tightens, the first to suffer are ordinary people, who end up placing orders until they doubt their own sanity. Anyway, my current principle is simple: don’t believe stories, focus on settlement—whether you can buy or sell at the price you think is key. We’ll chat again next time.
