In the past few days, I've seen everyone talking about re-staking and shared security. To put it simply, it's like stacking "security" like building blocks, with the returns appearing to increase layer by layer, and it's easy for the mind to get caught up in the drama... I'm a bit afraid of that "one fish, multiple eats" narrative right now. When things go wrong, it's not about earning more interest; it's about falling together.
Especially now that the funding rates are extremely high, people in the group are still arguing whether it's a reversal or if the bubble is still being squeezed. My feeling is: the more excited everyone gets, the less you should treat "returns" as certainty. Anyway, I’m keeping an eye on small signals like abnormal unlocks or redemption delays on the chain, rather than waiting for emotions to turn.
For now, I’ll do that. I’m going to take screenshots of each of my remaining staking positions and note their unlock times.
