Recently, someone was talking about re-staking and shared security, basically "using the same collateral repeatedly for endorsements," with returns stacking layer upon layer. My mind almost started to hallucinate along with it: as if the risk would automatically be dispersed. In reality, it's more like attaching the same seatbelt to three cars—any sudden brake could pull you flying.
Why am I itching to join in? Mainly because of that mindset of "missing out makes me look like I don't understand new things," plus the urge to poke around whenever TVL rises to see if it's just inflated. Coincidentally, the main public chain is about to upgrade/maintain, and everyone in the group is guessing whether projects will migrate. I actually feel even less comfortable stacking a bunch of security assumptions on the same infrastructure... stacking returns is fine, but don't stack confidence along with it. Start small, withdraw if possible—being able to sleep peacefully is the most important.
