My current attitude toward Layer2 is basically: save where you can, but don’t ruin yourself just to save a bit of gas. For everyday small transfers and frequent interactions, putting it on L2 is really worth it—the experience is smooth; but the moment it involves large amounts, long-term holding, or smart contracts with complex permissions (especially the kind that gives unlimited approvals), I still prefer to go back to the mainnet to do a “costly but dependable” settlement. After all, less movement means more living.

Recently, I’ve again seen people interpreting ETF fund flows and U.S. stock market risk appetite as if they’re rigidly tied to rises and falls in the crypto market. It sounds lively, but it doesn’t really help much with my actual operations. To put it plainly, in the long run, it’s not talent—it’s habits: first look at the bridge, then the contract, then the approvals. It’s better to be slower and pay more than to try to cut corners and treat risk as if it doesn’t exist. That’s it for now.
