Recently, I keep seeing a bunch of terms: data availability, ordering, finality… Basically, it all comes down to one line: the transaction you see on the chain, can others "look it up," will it "be front-run," and ultimately whether it counts as "truly settled." When I trace the path, what I fear most isn't price fluctuations, but the fact that it clearly gets included in a block, then after a while, it seems like nothing ever happened, which really messes with my mindset.

And regarding deposits and withdrawals, when certain places add taxes or tighten restrictions, everyone’s expectations become very sensitive. The number of intermediate nodes on the chain clearly increases, and front-running the order becomes more aggressive. Anyway, now I look at the market first for confirmation; if it’s slow, so be it. At least I won’t be fooled by "appearing successful."
