These past two days, we’ve been chatting again about parallelism and sharding, and the group is pretty lively—but I personally want to fill in the table in the “most boring” way instead: where to place the assets, who gets/holds the permissions, and whether the process can be undone or revoked if something goes wrong. No matter how pretty the narrative is, if the exit route isn’t clear, it’s just hanging in the air. Recently, the staking unlocks and the token unlock calendar have been pulled back into the conversation again, and everyone is anxious about selling pressure. I can’t really judge near-term sentiment, so all I can do is honestly write the unlock windows and the drawdown I can tolerate into my plan: if I can split into multiple wallets, I’ll split; if I can set limits, I’ll set limits. Most importantly, don’t treat withdrawals or cross-chain transfers as default options. A friend also told me I’m “too cautious and might miss the market”—well, whatever. I’m just more afraid of making money only on paper and not being able to get out.
