Recently, I've seen a bunch of charts about LST/re-staking again, and honestly, the returns aren't just falling from the sky: some are from the staking rewards themselves, and a lot depends on "someone willing to pay for your sense of security/liquidity." As it gets more and more attractive, I actually start to feel a bit anxious… If on-chain protocols have a small hiccup, or if the rules change, the returns might still be there, but if the redemption gets stuck first, that would be awkward.
If I had really used all my avatar funds to re-stake back then, I might now be watching the unlock times more diligently than tracking memes. Thinking about it, I’ll just take a more laid-back approach. Recently, hardware wallets have been out of stock again, phishing links are everywhere, and the more I try to "earn a little more," the easier it is to slip up and make mistakes. Anyway, I’ll just treat security as the priority for now—avoiding losses is enough.
