Recently, there's been a lot of talk about parallel processing and sharding, which sounds pretty lively, but my first reaction is: if something goes wrong with the stuff I bought, can I withdraw? Frankly, the exit path is more like a lifeline than TPS. The other day, when the cross-chain bridge was hacked, and after the oracle reported an error, a bunch of people shouted "wait for confirmation," which is actually a reminder: no matter how smooth the chain is, if you can't pass the asset security test, it's all pointless.
I'm now playing with it as a practice mindset; picking up bargains near the floor is okay, but I would never go all-in... If I do go all-in, I at least want to think through "who to sell to, how to sell, who to find if there's a problem," or else when emotions run high, I’ll just be digging my own grave. Anyway, I’d rather miss a rally than wait forever in the "waiting for confirmation" phase.
