Recently, more people have been talking about re-staking, shared security, and stacking yields that sound quite attractive, but honestly, a lot of times what’s stacking is just an illusion: the underlying risks are still there, the chain is even longer, and if a contract on someone’s platform glitches, you get caught in the crossfire. Especially those that default to giving unlimited permissions—I really get a headache just looking at them… Don’t think I’m being harsh; if you want to keep it simple, just tighten permissions first, and avoid using proxy contracts if you don’t have to.
I’m also practicing my trading mindset; don’t get itchy just because others are showing off “one more layer,” the more impatient you are, the easier it is to treat risks as minor details. By the way, I see the community arguing over privacy coins/mixing compliance, and no matter how fierce the debate, it won’t change anything: things with unclear boundaries are most likely to cause trouble for ordinary people who haven’t done their homework. Anyway, I’d rather earn less now than wake up in the middle of the night to a liquidation text. That’s all for now.
