A sudden news story in the morning caused phones to blow up all day: geopolitical tensions are escalating, senior military officials are issuing tough words, and the market is filled with uncertainty.



In such moments, human nature is most easily revealed. Most retail investors’ reactions are nothing more than "Breaking news! Good news for BTC!" then rushing in en masse, only to be completely harvested. But traders who have experienced several cycles tend to pause and ask themselves: when information is flying everywhere and it's hard to tell what’s true, what should I believe?

Thinking carefully about this question hits home. If even international news can be interpreted by different parties as "truth," then the trading data, asset prices, and contract terms you rely on daily—could they be "adjusted" at a critical moment? Is your position truly safe?

That’s why, during market chaos, I have more confidence in the value of decentralized on-chain data. Simply put, the core advantage of blockchain is: **immutable and resistant to centralized control**.

Imagine a global decentralized node network that encrypts and verifies key real-world information—oil prices, exchange rates, commodity prices—and synchronizes it to the chain in its original form. No matter how noisy the outside world gets, these data are there—transparent, tamper-proof, and verifiable by anyone.

This is the true value of on-chain data during turbulent times. It’s not about flashy price surges, but about **trust itself**. When the world is in chaos, what you need isn’t more headlines, but something you can grasp—authentic, unmanipulable, and real.

It's the same old rhetoric... sounds nice, but when it comes to the critical moment, who isn't just running away?

It's time to cut the chives again. I just enjoy watching who panics and exposes themselves during these times.

Here we go again with this routine? Retail investors rush in and get cut, then they start bragging about how unbeatable on-chain data is, acting like they're so clever.

To be honest, this wave is just the old trick again, retail investors always fall for it. Information warfare is always the harshest harvester.

Here comes another wave. Retail investors are still "positive about BTC," but I already sold out. This wave is too fake.

Here we go again. At times like this, you can most clearly see who is a rookie and who is a seasoned trader. I'm speechless.

Coming back with this set again? In the era of information warfare, who still believes in the truth? Anyway, my BTC is just sitting on the chain, regardless of geopolitics or human nature.
