Last night I wanted to move a small amount of money from the mainnet to L2, but I got stuck on that gas fee for a while: it’s painful to spend, but I also don’t want to wait a few hours just to save a few bucks... Basically, my current compromise is: try to do small daily transactions on L2 as much as possible, and only go back to the mainnet for important actions (like long-term storage or permission-related signatures), so I make fewer mistakes by not overcomplicating things.

Recently, the “compound yield” from staking and shared security has been a heated topic, and I’ve been hesitant: the returns look tempting, but with more layers involved, you won’t know who to blame if something goes wrong. Anyway, I care more about whether the experience is smooth and whether the money can come back safely, rather than stacking every layer to the max... I’m also worried about being greedy and hitting a mine.
