Recently, people have been talking about LSTs and re-staking again, and honestly, the returns don’t fall from the sky: one part is the basic yield from underlying staking, and the other part mainly relies on packaging "security" and selling it to other protocols. It sounds pretty good, but there are risks—being layered with multiple promises on the same underlying asset, any layer failing could cause a chain reaction, especially during unbonding or queuing periods, which are the most mentally stressful.

AI agents and automated trading are also quite similar: the narrative is hyped up, and as on-chain interactions increase, even a small loophole in contract permissions, signatures, or routing can ultimately be paid for by users. Anyway, I’m now more concerned about "what’s the worst that could happen," treating complexity as the enemy. If I can avoid stacking layers, I do. Keep it mechanical, sleep more peacefully.
