Lately I've been looking into re-staking and shared security again, the idea of stacking yields on top of yields sounds pretty appealing, but honestly don’t mistake “an extra layer” for “more certainty.” Security is shared, and so are the risks, so when the fog gets thick, I’ll slow down first—prefer to earn less than to push hard blindly.
Airdrop season is also pretty funny, the task platforms are increasingly resembling attendance check-ins, and the points system is turning yield farmers into workaholics, it’s exhausting to watch… By the way, it also reminds me not to stack a bunch of protocols just for points, because what I end up stacking might just be an illusion.
My mom asked me yesterday, “Is this re-staking like compound interest in a bank?” I could only reply half-heartedly: “It’s similar, but not really, don’t think of it as guaranteed.” That’s all for now.
