Today I tidied up the desk and found a bunch of chargers: one for fast charging the phone, one for the earphones, and one whose purpose I still don’t know… The feeling of pledging/sharing security is pretty much the same; the more you plug in, the more “full” it looks, but don’t mistake “being able to charge” for “the battery getting bigger.” The compounded returns are tempting, but the risks can also get tangled; if one link loosens, everything might lose power together.
Recently, before and after the upgrade/maintenance of that mainstream public chain, everyone in the group has been guessing whether the ecosystem will move. I think it’s better not to rush into the idea that “migration = good news.” Honestly, a vault is like a taco platter—more toppings don’t necessarily mean it’s tastier. The key is that each bite shouldn’t be full of sauce and no protein… What I care about now is: who’s ultimately responsible if security fails, and whether the incentives are being over-issued again. That’s all for now.
