Recently, I keep "waiting": waiting for confirmation, waiting for callbacks, waiting until I figure things out before clicking confirm... As for the LST/re-staking set, honestly, the returns aren't just falling from the sky; most of it is gained by taking liquidity, taking risks, and exchanging "people willing to pay for this sense of security." On the chain, the numbers look quite stable, but when faced with a run, contract liquidation, or cross-protocol chain reactions, you realize you're actually buying a bunch of stacked promises.
These days, memes and celebrities shout a few words, and attention shifts in waves. Veteran players advise not to take the last step, and I resonate with that. Anyway, I prefer to slow down now, take fewer interest payments if needed, at least I can sleep peacefully. For now, just continue waiting.
