Lately, I keep feeling like the on-chain data might "hiccup," but it's not necessarily that the chain is really congested; more likely, it's the middle layer indexers/subgraphs rushing to catch up: some are syncing, some are rebuilding, and RPC still imposes rate limits on you, so when you refresh, it feels like you're missing data. To put it simply, the "data" we see is often processed and presented, not the raw real-time stream.
I now treat it as system patches, small fixes and updates: look at the same thing from two or three sources, don't get emotionally affected by just one dashboard. By the way, I also thought about the recent social mining and fan token schemes where "attention equals mining"; when it's hot, everyone stares at the dashboard, and when there's a hiccup, conspiracy theories start... Anyway, I'll stay quiet for now and wait until the data patch is complete before making any judgments.
