After muting the group, my mind feels much clearer, less anxious about "everyone is rushing at me, am I falling behind," and I can watch the market more calmly. Recently, I've been thinking about the IBC/message passing/bridge system. To be honest, crossing one chain requires quite a bit of trust: the source chain shouldn't rollback, the target chain shouldn't malfunction, the verification/relay process in the middle shouldn't act up, and the bridge contract itself shouldn't leave backdoors. Especially since many bridges are actually "messages arrive first, assets are replenished later," what you trust isn't speed but the honesty of the entire chain of processes. By the way, I want to vent that recently, on-chain data tools and tagging systems have been criticized for being laggy or misleading, and I agree... Seeing tags like "whale buying" now, I only treat them as emotional signals, not evidence. Anyway, my usual approach remains the same: break down cross-chain amounts into smaller parts, prefer paying more transaction fees multiple times, rather than putting all trust into a single transaction.
