Lately I've really been fed up with gas fees, the mainnet is indeed "authentic," but ordinary people get upset just clicking a couple of times every day; a smoother L2 experience, but switching back and forth makes me afraid of bridges, lag, and ending up back on the mainnet to settle and taking another hit. My compromise is: large amounts and long-term holdings stay on the mainnet, small high-frequency interactions stay on L2, and if a single transaction can be bundled, don’t split it up. Avoid operations that save a few bucks but end up taking two extra steps—after all, everything will be settled eventually.

Some people also complain about validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering, which I understand too. Clearly, I just want to do a swap, but it feels like I’m in an invisible queue, jumping the line… So now I focus more on interaction retention and real users, not just hype. I still believe that after the tide recedes, genuine demand will remain.
