An oracle failure is scarier than a contract bug. I always check the price feed source and update frequency first. I'm cautious and prefer to use case studies to convince people.
BTC monthly candle just closed, and the author thinks there will be a relief rally at the beginning of the month, but the whole month is likely to close bearish—typical pattern of giving hope first and then trapping people.

$BTC It's that time again, monthly close day.
BTC is currently dumping off into June. While I still expect June to finish in the red, I think there's a good chance we see an early month relief rally first.
A short term push higher over the first week or so could occur before further downside.

My biggest feeling from watching the market these days is not "it's time to buy after a big drop," but rather that once liquidity is pulled out, even selling becomes difficult, and slippage feels... like stepping into a muddy puddle, the more you struggle, the more awkward you become. Frankly, at times like this, the priority is to survive: keep your positions small, avoid leverage for now, and rather earn less than get pierced by a needle.
By the way, I want to complain that everyone is starting to interpret ETF fund flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and coin prices all together, sounding quit

Recently, I saw someone say "just put it in the pool and earn passively," and I really frown... The AMM curve is basically you constantly selling the rising tokens and buying back the falling tokens. Once the market moves in a single direction, the fees might not be enough to cover the impermanent loss.
So should I still do market making?
It depends, try with small amounts, earning fees is not worth taking too seriously.
And now I’m more worried about price feeds going wrong: if the oracle quotes go haywire, arbitrageurs rush in, and the pool is drained quickly; plus, with recent cross-chain

Vitalik Buterin: Some L2 projects are not fully decentralized
ME News Report, May 16 (UTC+8), 2025: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated during his EthCC speech that many Layer 2 projects claiming to be built on-chain have backdoors that can be triggered at any time or lack decentralization. He believes that the architecture of these projects is not much different from traditional centralized servers. He pointed out that if developers cannot ensure complete decentralization of the project, directly using centralized servers might be more practical. (Source: MLion)

Recently, there's been more debate about the MEV "front-running" strategy: honestly, it's not about who is smarter, but who is closer to the ordering. When ordinary people swap tokens, they already suffer from slippage, and being squeezed further makes the transaction price even worse; LPs also passively bear this noise, appearing not to lose on paper, but in reality, they've had some small margins taken away. Not to mention some strategies specifically target small pools and low liquidity, affecting those with the least bargaining power.
The cross-chain bridge has had issues again these days,

These days I've been looking at stablecoin reserve disclosures again. Honestly, I'm not afraid of its "short-term fluctuations," what I worry about is that you don't really know what’s backing it: is it a bunch of hard-to-sell notes, are there separate accounts, is the redemption window clogged, how often is it updated? When a run actually happens, the market isn't rationally calculating, it's a mindset of "if others run, I have to run too," and de-pegging often spirals from there.
By the way, I saw that the main public blockchain is about to upgrade/maintain, and the group is starting to spec

My current principle for checking lending positions is simple: if you’re three steps away from the liquidation line, don’t play dead. The first step is to screenshot your position, then figure out exactly what “a little more drop” means—don’t rely on gut feeling. Also, take a quick look at the oracle price feed’s source and update frequency: some protocols are usually quite stable, but in extreme volatility, a price feed that goes off can be more dangerous than a contract bug.
The second step: reduce leverage if you can—repay a bit, add some collateral, or simply cut down your position and s

I'm now looking at things like PFP/membership, and my first reaction isn't "culture," but rather what actually backs their value: is it written into the contract, or just depends on the team saying so? Frankly, the fewer things that can be verified on-chain, the less willing I am to see it as long-term value.

Recently, I came across a bunch of people talking about sandwiches/arbitrage, saying they want to jump in whenever they see "opportunities" on the chain. Others think they are just picking up money, but in reality, many times you're just paying transaction fees and slippage tuition to faster players... When I see abnormal trades, my first reaction isn't to jump in, but to check the routing, pool depth, and whether the oracle price feed is slow or updating out of sync. Otherwise, you might think you're eating meat, but you could be just serving someone else's bread.
