Today I came across a bunch of people arguing about "data availability / ordering / finality," honestly these terms just give me a headache… I personally focus on one main point: can others see the transaction you see, can they confirm it in the same order, and will it eventually be overturned. If all three can be achieved, then it’s truly "on the chain"; otherwise, even a smooth experience feels a bit like playing an internal test server.
By the way, I was reminded of the recent economic collapse in blockchain games, which is pretty similar: when inflation kicks in, studios jump in, coin prices spiral, and players see "returns" that have no finality at all, always being pulled back by reality… Anyway, I stick to my approach: for long-term, focus on whether the underlying is reliable; for short-term hype, just pass by.
