Lately I've been looking into cross-chain bridges again, and the more I look, the more I realize that my previous "dislike of slowness" is quite problematic. Multi-signature setups, or oracles—basically, they all just shift risk around: whether the signers are reliable, if the price feeds can be manipulated, and the simplest question—who is actually deciding "it's time"? Now, before I transfer across chains, I deliberately wait for a few confirmations, even if it takes ten more minutes, at least I won't rush in impulsively. Getting liquidated once in market making is enough PTSD...

By the way, I want to complain about the recent claims that on-chain data tools/tags are lagging behind. I'm also a bit swayed: I used to say "I only look at on-chain data," but if the tags are misleading, what I see might also be a false story. Now I’ve changed to: look at on-chain data plus my own confirmation rules, don’t blindly trust any single dashboard. Emotions are also important, but you can't just rely on emotions; ultimately, the process needs to keep your hands in check. Anyway, taking it slow is really nothing to be ashamed of.
