Lately, I've been a bit annoyed by "on-chain data" browsing: the big transfer you see, or a certain address "bottoming out," isn't necessarily that they're slow, it's just that you're using a node/RPC/indexer that's slow... Basically, you're just looking at a "replay" of a block. Now I prefer to check multiple sources to verify, rather than be carried away by emotions.
Once, due to index delay, I thought the liquidation wall was still there, so I rushed in, only to find they had already pulled out. It was quite embarrassing. Since then, I set reminders and limits for myself: if not confirmed by a certain time, I won't chase; and I’ll accept a maximum loss per trade. Once I set those, I felt much more relaxed. I may act tough verbally, but internally, the anxiety of "must seize the opportunity" has noticeably decreased.
By the way, recently the debate over privacy coins/mixing and their compliance boundaries has become quite heated and divisive. I just want to say, don’t take "on-chain transparency" as the absolute truth... even what you see on the chain might be delayed, let alone the fact that people can intentionally make you see something. Anyway, I stick to discipline and put my beliefs aside for now.
