Anyway, whenever people talk about re-staking and shared security now, it’s basically stacking yield on top of yield—and it makes me a bit dizzy. Logically it does make sense: if one chain isn’t enough, you carry the load with several chains together, and it sounds pretty solid. But honestly, that “stacking illusion” feels more like hiding the risk deeper—there’s this feeling that every layer has someone backing it, but what if the backing itself is also cobbled together?

Recently I’ve been looking at the points-based system and the anti–Sybil playbook, and it feels like everyone is competing the way they might when collecting attendance. The airdrop season hasn’t even arrived, yet people burn themselves out first; they get “tamed” by compute power within a couple of rounds of resisting Sybils. To put it plainly: no matter how safe it is, it’s still something that someone has to manage. You can chase returns, but don’t truly treat yourself like a node.
