These days, parallel and sharding narratives are heating up again, with a bunch of charts and progress bars in the group, looking pretty exciting, but I’m still thinking very simply over my tea: where to put the money, how to withdraw it. No matter how impressive the performance hype is, if you don’t address the annoying points like bridges, cross-chain, contract permissions, upgrade switches first, when something really goes wrong, the only exit path left is “hope the network doesn’t get stuck”… Honestly, I’m most afraid that the excitement will deceive us out of our sense of security.

Airdrop season is also quite surreal, with task platforms increasingly resembling exams rather than anti-witchcraft measures, and the points system turning the degens into clocking-in workers. I, for one, am getting lazier. Now I prefer to do fewer tasks, spend ten minutes revoking contract permissions, layering addresses, and pre-setting retreat routes. Less action doesn’t make me less confident. That’s all for now.
