Recently looking at L2 and the mainnet, it really feels like two elevated roads at night: one has fewer cars but charges high tolls, and the other is free but takes a detour and is still jammed. The nonstop back-and-forth—always bickering over TPS, over fees, over subsidies—has me exhausted... What chance does an ordinary person have to bet on who will win? Plainly, it just comes down to whether this one move you make is “worth it.”

My current, rather old-school approach is this: for small amounts, do frequent transactions on L2 so the experience is smoother. If you’re dealing with big amounts and you’ve got a bunch of approvals to give, I still go back to the mainnet for peace of mind—sure, gas is more expensive, but I treat it like buying insurance.

Last night I even checked on-chain—when I approve a certain contract, it popped up with a whole string of calls. My hand slipped and I almost clicked the wrong thing... Anyway, I’d rather move a bit slower now than save that little bit of gas just to gamble that I won’t mess up. That’s where I’m at for now.
