Lately, using L2 feels like driving on an overpass after work: not necessarily the fastest, but at least I won't be stuck at the main network's "toll booth" questioning my life. To put it simply, ordinary users compromise on two things: if it's small and frequent transactions, don't force them through the main network; when gas fees spike, the experience just explodes. If you really need to go on the main network, try to accumulate and bundle transactions, don't just save two minutes and pay multiple tolls.

I'm also not installing bridges anymore; the worst part isn't slow speed, it's "thinking the transfer is complete when it's actually still on the way." So I prefer to use official bridges or established ones first, just to be safer. Recently, there's been talk about regional tax increases and relaxed compliance, which changes deposit and withdrawal expectations. The network suddenly gets crowded like rush hour, and gas fees start acting up... Anyway, I’m just not chasing the hype anymore; if I can take a detour, I will.
