Just saw a node latency data point—it’s really able to make me laugh out loud. On-chain has already confirmed it, yet my RPC is still spinning circles for me. Back when I was losing money, I always thought it was because the market was lagging behind. Later I realized my node connection was the one holding me back. Now I’ve formed the habit: when I see abnormal price swings, I refresh a couple of times first—at least it helps me feel steady.

By the way, lately lots of people have been farming on the testnet again. My feed is full of points screenshots, and some even bet on whether the mainnet will issue tokens. Sigh—I can’t resist this kind of temptation. I almost wanted to go queue up and try my luck. But then I thought about how badly I was educated by the funding rate earlier, and I held back. Anyway, both nodes and RPCs can trick you, but keeping your position lighter can’t go wrong. That’s it for now—I’m going to check whether my index is running late.
