Tonight I'm again watching the "waiting for confirmation" on cross-chain bridges, it's really not being petty... Multi-signature looks crowded, but I'm actually worried it's the same group of people / the same set of permissions, and if something goes wrong, it all happens together; oracles are even more annoying, slow to feed prices / messages, and on-chain it can turn into a different story. To put it simply, waiting for several rounds of confirmation is just giving myself a chance to back out: if there's an anomaly, I still have the opportunity to stop, at least not to fall into a black hole in a second.

Am I being too cautious?
Yes, a bit, but I prefer to be slow.

Recently, there's been talk of increased taxes and tighter compliance in a certain region, and as the inflow and outflow expectations change, everyone is more eager to transfer back and forth... The more this happens, the more bridges seem like "must-use" tools, but I actually prefer to split the amounts into smaller parts, try transferring first, do the task later if possible, and mark "under observation" on the list—just like that for now.
