Recently, everyone has been talking about concurrency, sharding, and these narratives, sounding quite lively, but my first reaction is still: where to put the money, how to withdraw it. By the time the chain is fast, the bridge is painfully slow, or liquidity is so thin that a single slip causes a spike in slippage, and the position curve still breaks. Staking unlocks, token unlock schedules have been repeatedly mentioned lately, and I also feel anxious, but what I fear more is that I only focus on selling pressure and forget to think clearly about the exit strategy in advance.
What exactly am I afraid of?
It's not the fall, but realizing I can't get out when it drops.
Anyway, now when I open perpetual contracts, it’s more like “testing the feel,” keeping the position small, first dispersing the funds, clearing authorizations, avoiding unfamiliar contracts if possible, just doing it this way for now.
