This is the third time I’ve seen everyone chatting about re-staking and shared security, and I’m still saying the same thing: if returns can be stacked, risks can be stacked too—don’t, out of habit, stack your “delusions” onto it as well. Plainly put: you split the same “trust” into several layers and sell it; if anything goes wrong in any layer below, everything above will tremble along with it.

That recent wave of cross-chain bridge theft has made people even more clear-headed. No matter how lively things look on-chain, if assets are stolen, they’re gone. And that kind of group “wait for confirmation first” consensus after abnormal oracle quotes? It’s really just everyone already knowing in their hearts: once it gets fast, whatever’s wrong gets fast too.

Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less now. I’m going to sort out my signature permissions and staking paths—if you can self-custody, then self-custody. Don’t treat complexity as a fortress moat.
