These days, I've been talking about sharding and parallelism again, and it sounds pretty lively, but honestly, what I care more about is: where to put the assets, what to do if something goes wrong, and whether the process will get stuck due to "technical reasons." The proposal describes throughput as if it's a spaceship, and when it comes to exit strategies, there's just a line saying "future optimization," which started to make me suspicious.
Some people are also watching large on-chain transfers and abnormal movements in exchange hot and cold wallets, interpreting them as "smart money." I also glance at them, but don't get too caught up—many times it's just moving assets, bookkeeping, or risk control. Who knows? Yesterday, I saw a transfer going back and forth, and I almost impulsively wanted to exit directly and uninstall a certain wallet... But then I thought, never mind, I should first check permissions, limits, and backups, and not let my emotions vote for me.
