Newbies focus on prices, veterans focus on chains: Where is your time being wasted?
The most anxious thing for newbies every day is: "It dropped again!", "I'll sell if it goes up!", "Should I cut losses? Should I flip?"
They stare at the prices all day but never ask: Are there changes in the active addresses on the chain? Is the TVL increasing? Are there new contracts being deployed? Is the number of ecosystem developers increasing?
Veterans don’t spend time watching prices; they spend time observing the trends behind the data. They use Dune, Arkham, and DefiLlama to see the real flow of funds, rather than the false moves on the candlestick chart.
They know that on-chain data is the engine of coin prices. Without real traffic and capital injection, even the most beautiful technical patterns are just castles in the air.
Newbies think they are working hard but are actually just a slow-reacting projector. Veterans look to the future, not past price fluctuations.
Those who stare at prices are destined to be the fodder, while those who focus on chains can catch the leaders.
