Lately, I've been debating whether to use L2 or the mainnet. To put it simply, the mainnet is like a big road—expensive but reassuring; L2 offers a smooth experience and cheaper gas fees, but the downside is that crossing bridges back and forth always feels like adding an extra layer of "what if." My current compromise is to handle small daily transactions on L2, and for more important transfers or long-term position changes, I’d rather spend a bit more gas to go through the mainnet and sleep well at night.

Recently, I’ve seen some regions increase taxes and tighten compliance, then loosen them again, and deposit and withdrawal expectations fluctuate accordingly. The more this happens, the less I want to lock my funds in overly complicated routes; the small savings on fees might not be worth the emotional rollercoaster. Anyway, I’ll keep the process simple and take it slow.
