Recently, the group has been talking about sharding and parallel processing again, saying "performance doubling narratives are coming." It's lively, but I'm still more concerned about two things: where to put assets and how to withdraw when the time comes. To put it simply, no matter how fast the chain runs, if your funds cross a bridge and something goes wrong, or if the contract permissions are not secured, or if liquidity is thin, you won't be able to leave. It's even more obvious with stablecoins—regulations, reserve audits, and various "de-pegging" rumors are circulating rapidly, and people's emotions rise quickly. In fact, during times like these, it's more important to check whether your exit strategy is clear: can you redeem directly, can you diversify, and how to handle the worst-case scenario. Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less than to stay up at night watching Twitter waiting for others to debunk rumors. That's all for now.
