Recently, there's been more talk about concurrency, sharding, and these narratives, sounding quite lively, like a new map has opened in a game. But I set a small rule for myself: no matter how flashy the hype, I first think through two things—where to place assets so they feel more secure, and whether the path is smooth when I need to withdraw. In other words, entering is easy, but getting out when stuck is the most uncomfortable.

And then there's the NFT royalty dispute, which is causing a lot of noise. Creators want to earn a living, secondary markets want liquidity, and I can understand that... Anyway, as a spectator who just buys tickets to watch the show, what I fear most is buying and then finding I can't sell or that no one is willing to buy my listings. The excitement is there, but I take "being able to exit safely" as the baseline, and the rest can be played with memes.
