Lately, I've been looking at this set of re-staking/sharing security, and the more I look, the more it seems like treating "security" as a LEGO set: stacking the returns layer by layer, and people easily fill their confidence along with it. But on the blockchain, it's not a PowerPoint presentation; when something goes wrong, it's often not just a "drop in returns," but the withdrawal channel narrows directly, and I can't help but stare a little longer at those few large transfers on the bridge.

The community has also been arguing these days about whether privacy coins and coin mixing are considered original sins. Basically, the boundary of compliance is blurry, and the fund flow becomes even more sensitive. Places like bridges and re-staking, with their "complex paths," are the first to be scrutinized and amplified. I'm not regretful about the outcome, but about the illusion I had at the time that "everyone is using it, so it should be fine"... Anyway, now I’d rather earn less and think carefully about whether I can exit and how long it will take to exit.
