In the past few days, I've seen a bunch of discussions about re-staking and shared security. To put it simply, stacking returns repeatedly can easily create illusions: you think you're earning more interest layers, but in reality, you're taking on more correlation risks, and when things go wrong, everything collapses together, even the withdrawal channels might get overwhelmed. Especially now, with AI Agents and automated trading interacting across chains everywhere, I'm not too worried about them being "smart," but more about them being "diligent"—giving too many permissions, not understanding the contracts, or signing quickly and losing everything. Anyway, I tend to prevent impulsive orders in a pretty old-fashioned way: I first close the page when I see a profit screenshot, go wash a cup or take a two-minute walk, and when I come back, I consider clicking confirm. If I still feel uncomfortable, I set the limit lower and re-read the authorization details. If it still doesn't feel right, I just give up—sleeping is more important than APY.
