Recently, everyone has been talking about sharding and parallelism again, feeling excited like "throughput is up, everything will be fine"... but my first reaction is: money can go in, but it also has to come out. No matter how fast the chain is, if the price feed source malfunctions or updates are slow, liquidation still results in a total loss, which is more frightening than a small bug in the contract.

In the past two days, there have been back-and-forth discussions in the group about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and screenshots claiming "it's about to de-peg." I also feel a tightening in my chest, but the more I think about it, the more I believe what we should focus on is: which price source does the protocol I use rely on, whether there are backup sources in extreme cases, where the pause/redeem switches are, and whether there is a second route for bridges and withdrawals. To put it simply, while the excitement is there, we should first think clearly about exit strategies—don't end up just staring in disbelief when the time comes.
