I just closed the market page... Recently, the narratives about parallel processing and sharding have started to surface again. It's lively, but I keep replaying those past few times in my mind: the smoother the story is told, the easier it is to forget the most basic two things—where to place assets more securely, and how to exit when the time comes. Honestly, you need to think through the exit strategy first; otherwise, when the chain gets congested, bridges slow down, or you panic and sign the wrong transaction, no matter how advanced the narrative is, it won't save you.

And then there are those opinions that link ETF fund flows and U.S. stock risk appetite to crypto price movements. Watching too much of that can get to your head, as if everything has an explanation. Anyway, I now prefer to go slow—understand the wallet permissions I can, simulate the withdrawal process I can, and rehearse it once. For now, that's how it is.
