Parallelism and sharding, these narratives sound quite lively, everyone talks about TPS, about the "next generation," but I still hold that one thought: focus on how to survive first. No matter how fast the chain is, if assets are unsafe or can't be withdrawn, it's all pointless. Cross-chain bridges, L2 withdrawal windows, contract permissions, upgrade switches—these old issues all turn into "exit path exams" when faced with extreme market conditions.

And I can also understand retail investors complaining about miners/validators taking too much, MEV front-running, unfair ordering... You think you're just trading, but you're actually playing hide-and-seek with the rules of queuing. Anyway, I now open positions more slowly, layer my positions, hedge when I can, keep some cash as a parachute, and don't get carried away by the narratives flying too high.
