Expect to see plenty more security incidents in the crypto space down the line. Not because teams have bad actors or don't care—that's rarely the issue. The reality is messier: decentralized systems with public-facing components are genuinely hard to secure. Attackers keep leveling up their game. And let's be honest, blockchain tech as an industry is still finding its footing.

But here's what matters: understanding that vulnerabilities aren't always signs of negligence. Every breach teaches the ecosystem something, and that accumulated knowledge shapes how we build more resilient infrastructure moving forward.

Basically, Web3 is still in its growth phase, and we have to pay tuition fees to improve security.

Security incidents are unavoidable, but don't rush to shift blame; the system itself is hard to defend.

Security issues are actually an inevitable trend. I've long said that centralized systems will inevitably go through this phase... Opportunities like this don't come often. Now is the best time to position in the security track. While others are still debating vulnerabilities, smart people are already accumulating defensive technologies.

Safety accidents are inevitable; this is how technology is in its growth stage.

Security incidents are inevitable, but this doesn't mean the project team doesn't care; it's just that decentralized systems are inherently targets.

Security incidents are like pests in a garden; no matter how carefully managed, they are hard to prevent. The key is to learn to coexist. --- Every time there's a major incident on the chain, I think to myself, these vulnerabilities are actually the ecosystem shedding its skin. It hurts, but it's necessary. --- Honestly, distributed systems are inherently fragile little creatures. No matter how smart the team is, they can't outsmart attackers' creative tricks. --- Instead of blaming "bad actors," it's better to admit that our entire industry is still in its infancy. Every breach is a blueprint for the next fortress. --- So I think, why not treat being hacked as a tuition fee? Anyway, the knowledge is accumulated, and the next version of the flowers will bloom more brilliantly.
