These days, someone keeps urging me to cross-chain faster, and I’m really feeling a bit timid…

Cross-chain bridges, to put it simply, are just about putting trust into multi-signatures and oracles.
Having many signers doesn’t necessarily mean stability; the key is who is signing and whether there’s a risk of a total takeover.
Oracles are even more “listening to the wind and believing the rain”: if the data sources get messy, the on-chain data will be chaotic too.
Anyway, I’d rather wait for a few more confirmations, take it slow and feel more at ease, rather than save those few minutes and end up losing a week’s worth of sleep in the end.

My colleague is still explaining every candlestick with ETF fund flows and US stock risk appetite, sounding convincing enough, but bridges really aren’t something that emotion can save…
Market rises and falls, anyone can handle it twice, but if assets on the bridge go wrong, it’s a direct zero.
For now, let’s keep it like this—if you can avoid crossing, don’t cross; if you must, split into small amounts and don’t be stubborn.
