That’s truly incredible. While listening to stories about "liquidity drying up at the end of the year" and "capital outflows," I’m also being bombarded with the voice that says "90,000 is just the beginning"—the market is like an emotionally unstable giant, and we’re like gamblers catching waves to make money.



Forecasting? Don’t believe it too much. When the entire circle is focused on whether "Bitcoin can break 80,000," I want to ask a more brutal question: if the entire valuation system of the market relies on data sources that are inherently unreliable, what’s the difference between bullish/bearish predictions and flipping a coin?

This is the fatal flaw that most people overlook. Whether you go long or short, your trading commands, leverage positions, and liquidation prices all ultimately depend on one thing: how to bring real-time, accurate, tamper-proof off-chain data onto the chain. The entity responsible for this data transfer is the oracle.

The problem now becomes very straightforward: as market volatility intensifies, a key data point is delayed by just 5 seconds due to node failure or an attack. Those 5 seconds are enough for a well-designed DeFi protocol to trigger a chain of liquidations, or for arbitrageurs to sweep away millions of dollars in an instant—and the one being liquidated could be you.

Imagine your position being forcibly liquidated because of a data delay that shouldn’t have happened. This isn’t market risk; it’s systemic risk.

The oracle sector has indeed been underestimated. Being liquidated with just a 5-second delay is truly terrifying. Wake up, everyone.

Oracles have been seriously underestimated. A delay of just 5 seconds can clear your position, and that's the real killer.

Oracles are really much more important than whether 90,000 breaks 80,000, but no one cares... A 5-second delay can wipe out a wave of people, ruthless.

Oracles have indeed been overlooked; a 5-second delay can send you straight to grandma's house.

I hadn't really thought about oracles before, but now that I think about it, I realize— that 5-second delay can be deadly.

The oracle part really hits the mark; a 5-second delay can completely mess things up. This sounds just unbelievable.

Oracles are really a minefield, but 99% of people are still just watching Bitcoin prices to guess whether they'll go up or down.
