Recently, I've seen a bunch of staking and shared security methods again, with yields stacking layer by layer, which looks pretty attractive. But I always feel it's better not to get caught up in illusions... To put it simply, what you're getting is a quote that "others are also willing to take on this layer of risk," not an artificially increased sense of security. I'm a cautious person; before signing, I always take a quick look at what permissions I’m granting. If I can sign with a cold wallet, I use the cold wallet; I keep only enough funds in a hot wallet for daily expenses. If something goes wrong, at least I can sleep peacefully.
And then there are those on-chain data tools and tagging systems, which have recently been criticized for being outdated or even misleading. I can relate: relying on tags for judgment is too convenient, and convenience often leads to complacency. Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less rather than leave a bunch of permissions hanging around and gamble on luck. I clear them out every few days to feel more at ease.
What I fear missing the most isn't actually the opportunity, but a moment when I think, "I could have been more cautious."
