Lately I've been talking about parallel chains, sharding, and such, and the narrative is quite lively, but I, who am a bit slower to catch on, am more concerned with the old issues: where to put assets and whether you can escape if something goes wrong. Honestly, no matter how fast the chain is, if the bridge blows up or permissions leak, the speed doesn't matter—it's the zeroing out that happens quickly... When I look at new ecosystems, I first look for an "exit route": can exchanges or mainnets directly exit, is liquidity deep enough, so that in the end, you're not left with just a bunch of impressive TPS. And then there are those opinions that rigidly link ETF capital flows with US stock market risk appetite—just looking at them gives me a headache. If you really follow the emotions, bouncing back and forth makes it easier to fall into traps. Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than wake up in the middle of the night unable to find my funds.
