These days, there's talk again about sharding and parallel processing, sounding like performance is going through the roof, but my first reaction is still: where's the money going, can it actually get out? Frankly, no matter how high TPS is, with cross-shard/cross-layer bridges and message channels, who will be responsible for permissions, upgrades, and risk control? I’d rather go slower and have a clear exit path: in the worst case, I can retrieve my funds myself, or know when to accept defeat—don't get stuck waiting for governance votes.

By the way, I see the community arguing fiercely over privacy coins, mixing coins, and compliance boundaries. My feeling is: the demand for privacy is real, but if you make the fund flow "unexplainable," in the end, when exchanges/entry points tighten up, the risk still falls on the users. I’ll just watch the excitement, but asset security is failing, everything else is just an essay.
