Recently, the whole story about parallel processing and sharding is getting hot again. The chat in the group is like a track meet, but I’m still more concerned about this: once the money is in, what if the network clogs up or the bridge glitches—how do I get out? Put simply, no matter how strong the performance is, if the exit route isn’t clear, I won’t dare to go in with a heavy position.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve also seen people complain about miner/validator income, and how MEV makes ordering unfair—like retail investors are lining up only to get cut in line… Just hearing that makes me want to move slower. Anyway, I can stay calm mainly because it’s a habit: before placing an order, I write out the “worst-case plan” first, including which chain to use, which bridge to route through, and if it gets stuck or the bridge glitches, withdraw in batches. If I can’t work it out, I’ll just post a limit order and wait—if it doesn’t fill, then so be it.
