Lately, looking at on-chain data has made me a bit uneasy... Even though the transactions have been sent out, the wallet/browser still shows them stuck, and my first reaction is always "Did I operate incorrectly?" But often, it's not that the chain is slow; it's that the node, RPC, or even the indexer you're using is "late." To put it simply, what you see as "real-time on the chain" might just be the synchronization progress of a certain service provider, sometimes lagging by a few minutes or even longer, and you still think the market is deceiving you.

So now I force myself to check multiple sources for the same task or opportunity: for the same transaction, switch browsers, change RPCs, and see if the display is consistent. If it's not, don't rush to re-interact; otherwise, the tax report will be even more chaotic later... Recently, everyone has been using ETF capital flows and US stock risk appetite to explain market rises and falls. I also find it overwhelming, but sometimes what you see as "funds in and out" is just data sources lagging behind, and the sentiment has already moved on. Forget it, I won't talk about macroeconomics now. I'll just add one more item to my checklist: before key actions, confirm at least twice.
