Recently, everyone has been talking about sharding and parallelism, and the discussion is quite lively, like the atmosphere back in the NFT secondary market days when people said "a new world is coming"... When I hear that, I instinctively look for an exit strategy first: where to put the money, how to withdraw, who takes the blame if it gets stuck. No matter how fast the chain is built, if asset security is a mess, in the end, retail investors will foot the bill.

And also, there’s been quite a bit of recent complaints about miner/validator income, MEV, and the fairness of transaction ordering. Honestly, you think you're just trading, but you're actually lining up to make money for others. Anyway, I now have one habit: I avoid complex cross-chain transactions if I can, keep my positions small, just to stay alive. Being able to exit with dignity is more important than chasing new narratives.
