These days, parallel processing and sharding are being discussed intensely again, and in the group, people are making grand promises while shouting "next generation," but I prefer to pause first.

Stop reading those interpretations that force ETF fund flows and U.S. stock risk appetite into the same line; emotions are too easily driven by such narratives.
To put it plainly, no matter how appealing the technical narrative is, it ultimately comes back to asset safety and exit strategies: where to put the money, who controls the permissions, and whether it can be withdrawn if real problems occur.
Options skew and funding rates are a bit volatile, but I’d rather pause and reduce leverage, keep some bullets, and maximize risk control first.
