My friend asked me why on-chain data always "stutters". I said, haven't you noticed when using Dune? Sometimes the chart takes forever to load.

In simple terms, it's those layers: indexers are catching up with blocks, Subgraph sync is slow, RPC nodes are rate-limiting you — it's not the chain being congested, but too many people reading data, and nodes don't want you to freeload. Recently, miner revenue has been criticized again, and MEV front-running is being argued fiercely, but that has nothing to do with someone like me who has quit leverage. I can't even hold spot.

I used to use high leverage, but now even data latency makes me anxious — afraid of missing something, yet afraid of seeing something. That's it for now. At least I didn't impulsively add to my position today.
