Today I stepped into a puddle on my way out, and my shoes went numb from the cold. When I looked at the market again, I almost had the same feeling... Everyone's talking about sharding and parallel processing, the narrative is indeed lively, but my first reaction is still: where are the assets stored, can they be withdrawn. Airdrop season is back again, task platforms are acting like they're clocking in for work, and the more competitive the points system gets, the less willing I am to blindly connect my main wallet. To be honest, no matter how fast the chain is, if the exit paths aren't clear, it's just faster to fall. Now I think about the worst-case scenario first: can I revoke permissions, what if the bridge breaks, can I leave if liquidity is pulled... Being a bit bored actually feels more reassuring. That's all for now, my coffee has gone cold.
