Ran into someone showing off an on-chain monitoring bot that triggers second-level alerts. Honestly, I’m a little envious… On my side, my node occasionally acts up too—blocks are confirmed, and it still takes a while for the RPC to spit out data. It’s pretty much like feeling your way around in the dark.

Recently, the funding rate has shot up again, and the chat is arguing about whether it’s a reversal or the squeeze just continuing. Either way, I don’t dare use lagging data to bet on direction. I’ve hung a limit order and left it there for now—execution quality matters far more than those few milliseconds of emotion. That’s it for now—let’s talk again once the node sync is completed.
