Recently, I saw a bunch of new L1/L2 projects issuing incentives to attract TVL, and I was still a step behind thinking "Which chain is this again"... Longtime users complaining about mining, staking, and selling, I totally get it; anyway, all the excitement is just for those who jump in first.
But what I fear most is the cross-chain bridge. To put it simply, multi-signature is like "a few people opening the door together," sounding stable, but you actually don't know who has the keys behind that door; oracles are more like "messengers," and one wrong report is enough to make you doubt everything. So I now don't rush for cross-chain transactions; I prefer to wait for a few more confirmations, shifting my mindset from "get it quickly" to "it's okay if it’s a bit later." A little slower, at least I won't be forced to contribute under pressure.
