Recently, there's been talk about parallel processing and sharding, as if splitting the chain can solve everything. I do enjoy watching the excitement, but honestly, it all boils down to two things: where to store assets more securely, and whether there's a way out when a project really runs away (exits). No matter how powerful the performance, if your cross-chain bridge glitches or you slip up on contract permissions, even a raincoat won't protect you from liquidation. The NFT royalty debate is also lively, with creators wanting income and secondary markets wanting liquidity, pulling in opposite directions. In the end, the ones who pay the price are the order holders. Forget it—speaking plainly: don’t just listen to the narrative, first ask yourself, “How can I get my assets back?”
