Just saw someone talking about AI agents doing automatic trading. A lot of people are hyping it, but honestly, my first reaction was: “What if the price feed source gets tampered with?” Once an oracle goes wrong, no matter how many signatures the contract has, it’s all pointless.

Recently I dug my hardware wallet back out and wiped the dust off it. I used to think multisig was really cool, but when I do the math on my own assets, a cold wallet plus screen confirmation is really enough. For social recovery, I don’t trust friends, and I also don’t trust the guardians I chose—if they get phished, or if the oracle’s price feed is targeted and attacked, the recovery logic just collapses.

Anyway, I try to avoid “impulse placing orders”: I check the price feed source and its update frequency first. If the on-chain data delay is more than 5 minutes, I’ll just scoff and close the page. Then I lock my screen, wait half an hour, and come back to take another look. If I’m really in a rush to buy, it might be because I forgot to check the oracle’s failure reports.
