While scrolling, the data suddenly freezes. The price is clearly moving, but the chart stalls. It takes three refreshes to catch up—at times like this, it's easy to get emotional, wanting to jump in quickly for fear of missing out, only to find that the market has already turned.



Actually, it's just that: the indexer is queuing, RPC is rate-limited, and on-chain data is naturally behind. The "real-time" you see is always outdated. The more impatient you are, the more you lose.

The market is the same now. Memes move faster than each other, and as soon as a celebrity shouts, they switch to the next one in a second. Newcomers always feel they need to keep up, but old-timers have long learned—intentionally slow down, wait for the data to be truly confirmed before acting, rather miss out than catch the last baton.

Those who have been liquidated should understand that the anxiety of "it's too late if you don't get in now" is the most harmful. I now simply set a rule: when the chart freezes, force yourself to go drink some water, then come back and look. Nine times out of ten, I'm glad I didn't act.

Being slow is not being cowardly; it's knowing that what you see is never the truth.
