Recently, some people have been arguing again about whether staking/sharing security is a "pyramid scheme."

Honestly, I'm more worried about something else: the on-chain data you see might already be "the delayed truth."
Nodes are lagging, RPCs are flaky, indexers haven't finished syncing—you refresh and think you're monitoring the market diligently, but you're actually looking at the arrival information of the previous subway train...

Why did I clearly see a transaction/transfer just now, and now it's gone?
Because what you're viewing might be the cache or the state before rollback of a certain node; once the indexer corrects it later, it will "disappear."

Anyway, I now open two RPCs for each interaction to compare, preferring slower confirmations rather than fixing mistakes caused by a quick glance.
I also add a "data source" column in the accounting table to prevent mismatches later, thinking I slipped up.
The anti-fraud measures are already strict enough; don't let delayed data cause you to fail in self-justification—it's pretty unfair.
