Recently, the narrative of parallel processing and sharding has become popular again, and everyone in the group is talking about whose TPS is more powerful...
I'm a bit numb about it; honestly, it's lively and all, but when it comes to actually spending my own money, the first questions are still: where are the assets stored, who has the authority to move them, and can I withdraw if something goes wrong.
These days, I’ve also seen people watching large on-chain transfers and abnormal movements in exchange hot and cold wallets, calling them "smart money," and by the third time I saw it, I was too lazy to get excited...
Large amounts ≠ direction; more often, it's just rebalancing / risk control / arbitrage.
Anyway, no matter what new story comes up now, I first want to figure out the multi-signature threshold and emergency exit paths, and I’m okay with taking it slow.
