These days, I've been talking about sharding and parallel processing again, and it feels like if no one mentions it in the group, they're falling behind... But I'm more concerned with things outside the market: how to store assets without risking issues, and whether the exit or withdrawal paths are smooth if someone really runs away or exits. No matter how fast the chain is or how lively the narrative, if problems arise with bridges, cross-chain contracts, or permission keys, the faster it moves, the quicker it might die.
By the way, I looked into the NFT royalty waterfight, and at the end of the day, it's also a contradiction of "who can exit or transact more smoothly." Creators want income, trading platforms want liquidity, and the ones who often get hurt are the middlemen who take the risk. Forget it, speaking plainly: don’t just look at TPS and roadmaps, first figure out if you can safely withdraw and what costs you’ll pay to do so. I'm still watching large addresses for how they move assets or if there's any fund reflow; other noise can be ignored for now.
