Don't laugh at me, I was stuck at the cross-chain bridge last night, waiting for "confirmation" for half an hour, feeling as anxious as waiting for takeout... But honestly, this thing really can't be considered slow. Multi-signature looks quite secure, but it's really just "a few people agree before proceeding." If the keys aren't sufficiently dispersed, or if someone gets phished or is an insider, then that batch of assets in the bridge is almost like leaving the door unlocked. Oracles are the same; one wrong data feed, and even if the contract "follows the rules," it can't be saved.
So now I’d rather wait for a few more confirmations, even if I miss a pump, than wake up to find my funds moved elsewhere. Recently, NFT royalties have been causing a lot of fuss—some say they need to support creators, others say they affect liquidity... I just think the logic is pretty similar to bridges: you want it fast, cheap, and secure, but it's basically impossible to have all three. Anyway, as an impulsive person like me, I can only cool down by "waiting a few more minutes."
