Recently, people have been talking a lot about modular blockchains. Frankly, for someone like me who focuses on market entry points, I only care about two things: whether transactions go through more smoothly and whether crossing between chains adds an extra layer of risk. On the surface, users just click "Confirm" again, but behind the scenes, once it's broken into multiple modules, responsibility for bridges, ordering, and settlement becomes more dispersed, and delays and slippage sometimes become even more mysterious... My order placements and cancellations are like breathing; when faced with this uncertainty, I tend to play it safe.

A couple of days ago, I set a reminder and a limit for myself: if the slippage exceeds a certain threshold, I stop chasing; when the alert sounds, I forcibly exit. Setting it up felt pretty good, like installing a brake on my finger; but when it actually triggers, I feel reluctant, my hands itch to change it, but in the end, I hold back, and my emotional fluctuations are noticeably smaller.

By the way, the compliance issues surrounding privacy coins and mixing services also give me a headache... The more modularized components are outsourced, the more compliance boundaries feel like "everyone manages a bit but no one is responsible," so I can only keep my own enforcement discipline in check for now.
