These past couple of days, I’ve been messing around with L2 and the mainnet. To put it simply, ordinary people are basically trying to strike a balance between cheaper gas and “not doing anything stupid.” My current habit is: for small, frequent interactions (claiming airdrops, refreshing a few on-chain records, making a couple of swaps), I use L2. If I really need to hold a position long-term or make large transfers, I go back to the mainnet. Sure, it costs more, but at least I sleep soundly.

Recently, the whole AI Agent and automated trading thing has been getting a lot of hype. I’m not against automation—people still make mistakes anyway—but once on-chain interactions are automated, it’s easy to treat “authorization/signature” like it doesn’t matter, especially with unlimited approvals. By the time you notice something’s off, it’s already too late. It saves effort, but the traps are more well hidden.

Leverage is the same. It’s not some natural ability to withstand risk—it’s habit: every time before entering a trade, I write down my exit rules, set limits, and pull out when the time comes. Gas is the same too—don’t crank the risk up to the max just to save a few dozen bucks… for now, that’s it.
