Just now I was looking at on-chain transfers, and I momentarily thought I had slipped up again, that familiar feeling in my heart: Oh no, did I get front-run… It took more than ten minutes before I saw it on the browser. To put it simply, what you see as “on-chain” is often a “paraphrase” given by nodes/RPCs/indexes, which can also get congested, delayed, and even appear differently depending on where you view it.

So now I try not to jump to conclusions based on a single chart, especially when the market is volatile and I feel like rushing in. I prefer to wait and check multiple sources. The economic collapse of blockchain games follows a similar logic: when inflation kicks in and studios start pumping, the data still looks lively, but in reality, it’s already in a price spiral… With my fragile mindset, it’s better to hold back and act more cautiously; taking it slow is actually safer.
