Recently, people have been talking about LST and re-staking, basically looking at the returns as "an extra paycheck," but the money isn't falling from the sky: part of it is the original staking on the underlying layer, and the other part is actually using your same sense of security to serve multiple platforms. If others are willing to pay or subsidize, you get a share. But the risks also stack up: smart contract issues, withdrawal problems, or even chain reactions if the underlying layer encounters problems... It feels like lending an umbrella to several people—everyone says thank you on sunny days, but when it rains, they start pulling at each other. This is even more obvious during airdrop season, with point systems and task platforms fighting off the witch-hunting, and the grifters working like clocking in at a job. When subsidies stop, everyone collectively disperses again. Anyway, I’m more concerned now with "what exactly have I backed up": an extra layer of redundancy brings peace of mind, but backing up in the wrong place just copies and pastes the same risk. That’s all for now, I’ll watch and see gradually.
