I muted the group, and everything around me suddenly feels quiet, and my anxiety also eases a bit. Recently, there's been a lot of talk about parallel processing and sharding narratives, which sounds quite lively, but my first reaction in my mind is: where's the money? Can I get it out? To be honest, if the bridges and exit routes are not smooth, no matter how many stories there are, it's just hot air on paper.
Before the main public chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group was guessing whether the project would migrate. I'm a bit curious but don't want to follow the emotions. Now I'm more used to taking a quick look first: Is the cross-chain bridge a single point of failure? Who holds the contract permissions? If the chain gets stuck, is there an alternative channel? I'm okay with higher transaction fees, at least I won't end up just waiting helplessly. Anyway, I plan to split my positions first, keep calm if I can, and leave some gas for an exit... That's it for now.
