Lately I keep "waiting": waiting for confirmation, waiting for callbacks, waiting to think things through. Honestly, many of the pitfalls on the chain aren't because you're careless, but because you think the price feed will obediently follow the market. When the oracle is delayed, the price on the other side has already changed, but your display still shows calm waters, and as a result, the liquidation line is secretly moved a little bit beneath your feet... You're still waiting, but your position is already gone. Especially those positions with implicit leverage, they look very stable normally, but once there's a hiccup, they become very fragile.
By the way, I saw in the group that there's a heated debate about privacy coins/mixing coins and the boundaries of compliance, and it's quite intense. Actually, it's the same as with price feeds: on the surface, principles are discussed, but underneath, it's all about time differences and path differences. Anyway, I now prefer to earn less, leave some buffer, and not entrust my life to "just wait for it to update."
