Lately, I keep seeing people mention "data availability/ordering/finality" on their lips. Actually, focusing on one main thread is enough: Is your transaction reliable, and can it ultimately be executed? Data availability, simply put, is "can someone verify the details of the ledger"; ordering is "whether the sequence of who comes first or second can be manipulated"; finality is "whether this transaction is truly finalized, so it doesn't get reversed in the middle of the night." What I care more about now is whether these things will suddenly deteriorate during times of hype.
Additionally, the staking unlocks and token unlock schedules have been repeatedly brought up recently, and the selling pressure anxiety is visibly obvious… I’m not bearish, just holding the umbrella open first. As for "long-term," I personally prefer starting with quarterly views; weekly/monthly are too easily influenced by emotions. Anyway, I’ll treat the fluctuations I can endure as the long-term. That’s all for now.
