These past couple of days, I’ve been a bit anxious again because of “on-chain data showing XX.” After looking into it, I remembered: what you see on the chain isn’t necessarily “the present.” Slow node synchronization, RPC pulling cached data, indexers still scanning blocks to rebuild status—what shows as “funds withdrawing/coming in” might already be a few minutes old. The order book’s sentiment has long since shifted, and I was still naively chasing after it. Especially at night, when I’m feeling overwhelmed, staring at one panel makes me think I’ve grasped the truth, but in reality, I’m just being fed delayed information.

Recently, someone mentioned a region raising taxes or tightening compliance, then loosening again. Basically, when deposit and withdrawal expectations change, that small “inflows and outflows” on the chain are more easily exaggerated and misinterpreted. But if data sources aren’t synchronized, it’s even more problematic… Anyway, I’m now trying to compare two RPCs/browser data more often. Better to be a bit slower than to be misled by false quick gains. That’s all for now.
