After I muted the group, the world suddenly became much quieter, and I no longer felt that prickling sensation of "Is everyone else rushing ahead while I might have missed out," and the daily charts also look easier on the eyes.
These days, some people are talking about LSTs and re-staking again, and honestly, the returns don't just fall from the sky: either someone is paying for leverage and liquidity, or the protocol is subsidizing to buy attention. The risks are pretty straightforward too— the underlying staking hasn't changed, but the "promises" layered on top are increasing: contracts, oracles, redemption congestion, rule changes, and any link in the chain could make you realize you're holding something that "looks like money."
By the way, it reminded me of the NFT royalty mudslinging match, where creators want ongoing income, and the market wants smoother liquidity... Many so-called yields/incentives are actually the result of this tug-of-war. Anyway, I just see if I can sleep well—if I can, I’ll hold some; if not, then forget it.
