I started recording the minutes before and after I get "unexpected liquidation/near liquidation" scared: not to review technical details, honestly just to find out whether I’m over-leveraged or if the oracle feed was half a beat slow. When the price feed is delayed, the price you see still looks pretty stable, but on the blockchain side, it might have already dropped/risen first. When it updates, the liquidation line suddenly gets pulled down as if someone yanked it, and before I can add more collateral, it’s over... That feeling is really quite powerless.
Recently, the group has been arguing fiercely about privacy coins, mixing coins, and compliance lines. I think it’s very similar to liquidation: you think "it should be like this," but when rules/data change, reality just slaps you in the face. Anyway, I’ve become more relaxed now, keeping smaller positions, leaving some buffer, drinking some coconut water, and then confirming again.
