Recently, people keep telling me how amazing "modular blockchains" are. To put it simply, the two most direct changes for someone like me, a end-user, are: first, more cross-chain interactions, more signature pop-ups in my wallet; second, for the same transaction, the speed, fees, and failure rate become more dependent on luck (actually, which layer, which bridge, and the order of providers you choose), so the experience isn't "more advanced," just the process is longer. For someone like me who has experienced a reset, longer chains mean adding rules: set a transaction limit, only use familiar bridges, review signatures three times—don’t complain about the hassle.

I'm also a bit hesitant about social mining and fan tokens—this "attention as mining" approach... It’s lively, but in the end, it all comes back to one question: are you mining attention or just occupying a spot? My biggest fear isn’t slowness; it’s chaos—if it’s slow, I can wait and calculate the cost, but chaos easily makes people lose their temper, randomly sign, and by then, it’s too late to cut losses. For now, I’ll keep observing.
