My small position has recently been a bit itchy due to LST/re-staking activities. The returns sound very attractive, but honestly, the money isn't just falling from the sky: part of it is the original staking rewards, and another part is people wanting to use your "security endorsement/liquidity" to do things, willing to pay for it. That's where the problem lies—risks are often not just about price fluctuations but involve protocol stacking, where any layer going wrong could take you down too: contract vulnerabilities, penalties and confiscations, de-pegging, liquidity runs... Anyway, the scope for imagination is quite large.



Recently, the trend of social mining and fan tokens—"attention is mining"—has also become popular. I see it somewhat similar to re-staking: initially attracting people with hype and subsidies, but once the subsidies stop and attention disperses, what's left is who truly needs this thing. My habit is: FOMO is okay, but don’t be stubborn about your position; set stop-loss/exit conditions first. If you make money, consider it good luck; if you lose, don’t blame it on lack of talent—long-term success still depends on habits.
