These days, I've been talking about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index moving up and down together with risk assets, and that whole story. Honestly, macro sentiment tends to drift easily, and someone as cautious as me needs to keep my wallet under control first; otherwise, if the market jitters, I might forget which chain my funds are on.
I now basically follow three rules: only keep long-term assets in my main wallet, don't randomly move funds across chains; open a separate "small account" for daily interactions, and clear it after use; and have another dedicated account for testing and airdrop farming, so that if something goes wrong, it doesn't affect everything. The most annoying thing about fragmented assets is scattered small coins. I simply regularly consolidate the leftovers from various chains into one or two commonly used chains, not chasing the best, just avoiding chaos.
I treat complexity as an enemy: I prefer to run fewer chains and interact with fewer protocols to survive longer.
