Recently, on-chain data keeps "hanging," it's not your internet connection. Many times it's the indexer/subgraph rebuilding or catching up on blocks, and RPCs may also be rate-limited, especially when everyone is flocking to check the same set of addresses... You think it's real-time, but actually there are many layers of caching and queues in between. The discussion about interest rate cut expectations is also quite similar: the US dollar index and risk assets sometimes rise and fall together, the data looks smooth, but the underlying structure is tangled.

My mom just asked me: Isn't this blockchain? How can it still be slow? I can only say a half-sentence: the chain keeps producing blocks, but the "query results" you see need to be organized by someone. The organizers are busy, may be rate-limited, or go offline. Anyway, I don't really trust a single data source when I look at the market now; at least switch between two RPCs or two browsers to compare, and you'll feel more at ease.
