Today I was once again fooled by "on-chain display"… You think you're seeing the truth, but you're actually reading a paraphrase from a node/RPC/indexer, as fast as live, as slow as a replay. Especially those large transfers, or when hot and cold wallets on exchanges are interpreted as smart money just because they move, my first reaction now isn't FOMO, but to ask: where did you get this data? A delay of a few seconds to minutes makes a completely different story. To put it simply, the same transaction can tell different stories depending on which RPC's timeline you see. Staring at it for too long makes my eyes sore, and my neck stiff. Anyway, now I compare two or three sources before placing an order, or I start to get sarcastic if the slippage gets too big.
