These past couple of days, I've been toggling back and forth between Layer 2 and the mainnet, basically trying to find a less painful balance between gas fees and user experience. My current approach is a bit "layered": for small transactions and frequent operations, I use L2 to save hassle and money; for long-term holdings or actions that require critical permissions/signatures, I go back to the mainnet once to get it done. It’s more expensive, but at least I can sleep peacefully at night.

The community is also arguing whether the extreme funding rates are a reversal or just continued bubble squeezing. I see it as making me more cautious: especially in times like these, don’t rush to save a little gas, only to end up signing more times, bridging more times, or making mistakes, and then losing it all. I’d rather take it slow.

I don’t need to be understood either; I just want to write down the pitfalls I’ve stepped into, so if I ever make the wrong call, I can correct myself later. That’s all for now.
