Lately, switching back and forth between the mainnet and L2 feels like changing clothes in two different weathers: the mainnet's high gas fees make people very restrained, even a single confirmation requires a deep breath; L2 is cheap and smooth, but bridging back and forth, assets are scattered, and I always worry "what if something happens someday." To put it simply, my current compromise is: try to use L2 for daily interactions as much as possible, and for important operations (like permissions, transferring large amounts), I still go back to the mainnet. It's expensive, but I accept it—just to feel more secure.
Airdrop season is also quite torturous. The task platforms are simultaneously fighting against scams and running points systems, and the grifters are forced to compete like clocking in for work... I no longer believe in the saying "doing more tasks will definitely lead to results." Anyway, I’d rather do fewer tasks, carefully review each signature and authorization, even if it takes more time. The crazier the market gets, the lighter the talk, and the gentler the hands should be.
