Lately I've been talking about sharding and parallelism again, and the group chat is so lively it feels like we're about to rewrite the internet... But I actually prefer to focus on those boring things: whether the bridge is stable enough, whether the transaction fees will suddenly spike, whether assets can be smoothly withdrawn if something really goes wrong. To put it simply, no matter how attractive the narrative is, if the exit routes aren't clear, I don't dare to increase my position.

The boundaries of compliance for privacy coins and mixing services are also hotly debated—some see it as freedom, others see it as a minefield. My current approach is pretty cautious: I avoid using them if I can, and if I do, I first think through "how do I get back to the mainnet or exchange." I'm not regretful about the outcome; I regret not having considered the risks and exit strategies beforehand for the sake of convenience. Anyway, I’m just working on the main line, exploring the side quests—just don’t turn side adventures into accidents.
