Recently, we've been discussing the narrative of parallel processing and sharding again, and the group chat is lively as if a new script has been exchanged. I also feel a itch, after all, who doesn't want to get on board sooner... But honestly, right now I’m more focused on two things: where to store assets without risking issues, and how to exit when it’s truly time to run. Especially with some regions tightening and loosening taxes and compliance measures, causing deposit and withdrawal expectations to fluctuate wildly, when emotions tighten, the “footsteps” of large on-chain holders become even more noticeable. No matter how attractive perpetual funding rates are, I first ask myself: if this chain, this bridge, this protocol, encounters problems, am I the last to know and the last to press sell? Looking back, what I’ve learned isn’t techniques, but rather to think clearly about exit paths first—only then can impulses have boundaries.
