These days, I've been talking about sharding and parallelism again. The narrative is indeed quite lively, but my first reaction in my mind is: where should I place my assets, and how can I withdraw them? Honestly, it doesn't matter how much the technology is hyped; in the end, it still comes down to whether the authorization has a clear cutoff, whether the cross-chain bridge is a single point of failure, whether the contract can be paused, and if the chain gets stuck, can I smoothly move my money out. When macro expectations of interest rate cuts come in, the US dollar index fluctuates along with risk assets, making sentiment more easily agitated. I'm even more afraid of accidentally signing something I don't understand with a quick finger... Anyway, I now prefer to participate less and first go through the exit process. What do you all think?
