Recently, there's been talk about sharding and parallel processing again, sounding quite lively. Frankly, my first reaction is: once you put the money in, can you get it out? Who holds the permissions, where are the keys, can it be paused if something goes wrong, can it be recovered... Until these old issues are resolved, no matter how fast the chain is, it's useless.

These days, Meme and celebrity shoutouts have once again drawn attention. Beginners are most likely to get excited and hyped up. I’m not pretending to be above it all; who doesn’t want to make quick money? But when it comes down to the final stretch, it’s usually not the loudest shouter who finishes first. Anyway, when I look at projects now, I focus on two things: asset security and exit strategies. The rest of the stories can be told as they may. Don’t treat your wallet like a wishing well.
