Lately, I've been a bit overwhelmed by discussions about staking and shared security, so I actually want to take a "break" first. Earning compounded returns sounds great, but honestly, it might just be an illusion of compounding: the underlying risks haven't changed, just wrapped in a more appealing package, and when something goes wrong, everything shakes together. In the past, with on-chain games, inflation + studios + token price spirals, many people were calculating "returns" while ignoring that the system was actually leaking... It’s quite similar.

My current approach is simple: stop chasing new pools, observe on-chain data and unlocking rhythms for a few days, stop refreshing those posts that keep saying "passive income" every other sentence. My position is like planting flowers; overwatering can really cause roots to rot. Take it slow. Anyway, I don't want to be the kind of person who adds to their position based on emotions.
