Parallel sharding has been hyped to the skies, but honestly, no matter how fancy the underlying logic is, the real problem is how to safely get the coins you hold back out. Over the past two days, the NFT royalty crowd has been arguing again—one side says creators’ income is getting carved up, and the other side complains that secondary liquidity is bad. In plain terms, it’s all because project teams and exchanges are leading everyone around by the nose. I’m more like the person who keeps staring at transaction records and checking signatures over and over, not the one rushing in chasing the latest new narrative. For now, that’s it—anyway, I don’t even dare to leave my hardware wallet gathering dust, just afraid that one sketchy step signing could get me sent on my way.
