Eating chips while browsing the blockchain, I suddenly realize that sometimes the "on-chain data" you see isn't always live... I thought that once a transaction is on the chain, I could see it immediately, but the same transaction can appear with a delay of ten seconds or more on different websites/wallets. It wasn't until later that I realized: which node you're connected to, whether RPC is congested, whether the indexer is catching up with blocks—all of these determine how "fast" the chain appears to update in your view. So recently, when watching Meme and celebrity calls that shift attention rapidly, I let the bullets fly for a while first, so I don't get fooled by a page showing "just happened" too seriously... Veteran players say not to take the last shot, because maybe the last shot hasn't synchronized to you yet. Anyway, I prefer to go slow for now.
