These days, parallel processing and sharding are being discussed intensely again, almost like a product launch event in the group. I'll start by giving myself a "version update": from V1, where seeing new narratives makes me want to rush in, to V1.1—first, let me ask: where are my assets stored, can I get them out? To put it plainly, the excitement is there, but if the exit strategy isn't clear, it's like ordering a special drink without a way back home after drinking it—you're left feeling tipsy.
And those on-chain data tools and tagging systems that are criticized for being outdated or misleading, I also resonate a bit... I used to feel pretty confident about tags, but now I look twice: who tagged it, when was it tagged, and what's the basis? Anyway, my current habit is to prefer taking it slow, making sure the basics—authorization, cross-chain transfers, cold/hot wallets—are solid first, so that "stories" don't steal away my sense of security. That's all for now.
