I almost opened another position, then stopped.
Not because something failed. I just caught myself thinking, "I'd rather wait a bit."
That reaction is probably more important than whether a transaction eventually completes.
also why Babylon introducing Trustless Bitcoin Vaults made sense to me.
I don't think the biggest problem was ever clicking one more button. It was the small doubt that shows up afterwards. You start asking yourself whether everything is really where you think it is. So you wait. Then the waiting becomes part of your routine even when nothing is technically wrong.
That's an annoying habit to build around Bitcoin.
Babylon already has more than 100,000 BTC committed, so clearly plenty of holders are comfortable trying something different. What I'm curious about is whether these vaults slowly remove that second guessing. Not overnight. Just enough that you stop adding your own buffer every time you want to do something next.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it because I notice delays more than most people. If something is supposed to be finished, I expect to stop thinking about it. When I don't, I usually assume there's another hidden dependency somewhere.
I'll know these vaults are actually useful when I stop catching myself waiting "just a little longer" before using the same BTC again.
That's a much harder thing to measure than another on-chain number.
