In the past, whenever I heard about mainnet gas fees, I would get overwhelmed and prefer not to use it if I could avoid it; now, I’ve started to differentiate by scenario: for small amounts and frequent transactions, I honestly go to Layer 2, which offers a smoother experience and helps prevent my mood from being ruined by a single fee. When it comes to large transactions or dealing with contracts/cross-chain activities, I’d rather go back to the mainnet—it's more expensive, but more reliable, so I can sleep peacefully.

Recently, we’ve been discussing rate cut expectations and the US dollar index, with risk assets swinging along with them. Basically, when emotions run high, everything on the chain gets congested. My compromise is: normally split funds into different parts—keep the “long-term inactive” on the mainnet, and the “daily-use” on Layer 2. When congestion hits, just wait it out; once emotions settle, then move. After all, rushing during those moments tends to cost more and lead to mistakes. That’s how I’ll do it for now.
