For those who never heard of the Cryptocurrency's Trilemma, here is a quick overlook:

A cryptocurrency, according to V.B. , can have a maximum two of the following properties - Security, Scalability, Decentralisation.

As you can see in the diagram it is pretty explanatory what this trilemma has to be dealt with in the crypto space. ETH before the merge had Decentralisation and Security, but now will have Security and Scalability because it is definitely NOT decentralised since over 40% of all the ETH are validated by two addresses. You can check this video as well:

Still this ETH with such a large amount of coins in a a few addresses pose another risk to Security as well. Sooo is ETH now only Scalable? The transaction speed increased a bit but the gas fees are ridiculous! 

Wait, if ETH is not Secured, not Decentralised, not Scalable then wtf it is? A huge scam, to fool people to invest in this "shit coin" and Like XRP, the ex-great ETH coin has become now a part of the current financial system.

Some of you might say hey look, there are so many applications on this block chain and it has the highest level of adoption. I would say to you: YES - for now, just wait until the next bull run and then we will see what people might start to adopt it.

Many already started to lose trust in Ethereum and some layer twos on ETH migrated already to other layer ones chain and some even went to Polygon which is in itself a layer two on ETH. Crazy isn't it?

So leaving this aside, my personal trilemma is: 

1) To continue to invest in crypto with cash and then stake that crypto

2) To continue mining and then HODL-ing

3) To DeFi and get some extra tokens

To be honest my trilemma is a bit offset then you might expect to be, but I could do all three isn't it? The problem that I can think of is, if I continue mining the mined coins cannot go to DeFi because there is no DeFi for those ones that I'm referring here like RVN, ETC, BTG etc. HODL is a good option still it is not a profitable one, mostly because I get 70 to 90 less coins then I got before the merge.

One thing is for sure I will mine XMR when I keep my PC open and do some work or listening music or watch some YouTube. The processor that I have can definitely do multi tasking easy! The GPU instead started to suck in mining so better of it or try to find some other new coins to mine. This might be a good option as well, even that the new coin will not be profitable to be mined now. I need to look into it at some point.

Also If I invest with cash in some coins there project might fade in time and go to zero like Terra. If I DeFi I still need to buy the coins in order to do so. After this merge my wife wants to invest only in BTC, so ETH is definitely excluded. I might try some ADA and farm it on Sundae Swap and it was ok.

The EGLD swap is not profitable anymore but since I bought the coins in a bull run (dumb idea to be the least), I have no other choice but to keep it locked there until the next bull run...

Hmm I do not hold a ton of cash either to do all the above activities so what do yo guys think, is my personal trilemma a real problem or it can be solved in a easy matter.

I can't wait for your answers...

Thanks!
