Recently, I've seen a bunch of RWA projects on the chain claiming to be "stable" and "cash flow positive." I'm just going to stay calm for now. On the blockchain, liquidity looks lively, but honestly, many of these are "tradeable" not "redeemable." Redemption windows, queuing, minimum amounts, and even pauses due to risk control—these are the real barriers. When the bridge suddenly drains liquidity, it’s really a two-way lock...
By the way, everyone complaining about miner/validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering, I can empathize: you think you're in a free market, but the queue order isn't necessarily what you want, with slippage and front-running taking everything away.
Why am I so calm? A small habit: every time I want to jump in, I first read through "how to exit" from start to finish, especially the redemption terms and pause conditions. After reading, if I still want to buy, then I do. That’s it for now.
