Lately, doing tasks on the platform feels a bit like clocking in for work... Every day I check ratings, update information, switch nodes, sign a bunch of messages, and worry about the witch being cut off arbitrarily. Honestly, earning from "scavenging some leftovers" has turned into "being managed by the platform," and the most exhausting part isn't the operations but the anxiety of not knowing which step might be deemed invalid.

The macro side is also quite tangled; expectations of rate cuts fluctuate between strong and weak, and discussions about the dollar index rising and falling together with risk assets keep popping up, making me less confident in "airdrop expectations" as certainty, feeling like the correlation matrix is almost impossible to draw.

When it comes to security, I now prefer to be a bit more troublesome: using a dedicated old computer + an isolated browser environment, layering wallets, and running important signatures through an emulator before using the main account. Spending more time is fine; I’m not afraid of losing money, but I am afraid of missing risks and then not being able to sleep later.
