In the past few days, I've seen cross-chain bridges being hacked and oracles reporting errors that distort prices, which really makes me a bit uneasy. I used to think "waiting for confirmation" was too tedious, but now I realize it's actually giving myself an escape route: if the multi-signature group suddenly changes members or the oracle glitches, at least I can stop in time, avoiding stepping into a trap.

Now I treat bridging as "handing over my coins for safekeeping for a little while," and I look at how many people are in the multi-signature group, who can move the funds, and whether there's a delay; with oracles, it's even more mysterious—just don't rush in when the market is volatile. A friend also asked me why transferring between chains is as slow as waiting in line for bubble tea... I don't really know either. I'd rather be slow, because having one less "tuition fee" in the ledger feels more practical.
