There's something about this validator perspective that really clicks. They're not just checking boxes anymore — they're making actual judgment calls.

Took me back to my trading desk days. Early on, everything was clean: if X happens, do Y. Simple rules, hard thresholds. But then markets evolved. The systems that worked before couldn't keep up. What started as pure mechanical execution turned into something requiring real decision-making skills. Same thing happening in blockchain now. Validators shifting from being rule enforcers to decision makers. Markets just keep getting more complicated.

Oh no, this is exactly what I've been saying. Validators now really need to think hard; it's not something that can be handled with that old, outdated if-then approach.

Damn, that's why the early automated strategies are all dead now. The market has become smarter, and validators have to upgrade accordingly.

Damn, does that mean validators really have to think now? The old automated methods are already outdated. Moving from mechanical execution to requiring judgment—this shift is indeed intense.

The shift from validators to decision-makers is indeed significant, but the problem is that most node operators are not even aware of what they are doing...

Damn, this is why those who only want to make money with scripts are starting to lose now.

Hmm... That's right. Validators now really need to think carefully; they can't just rely on fixed logic. It's a bit like our trading desk back in the day; only later did we realize that not all market conditions can be handled with a single formula.

Validators need to learn to think critically, or else they'll suffer losses sooner or later.
