Lately, I've been debating whether to use L2 or the mainnet, basically: is saving that little bit of gas worth the extra mental effort. L2 is indeed convenient, transfers and interactions are almost painless, but once I cross back to the mainnet, or encounter liquidity fragmentation, or a bunch of contract addresses that look similar, it suddenly becomes much less smooth. My current compromise is: small, high-frequency actions on L2, only leaving the "final" transactions that must land in the mainnet, even if it's more expensive, just for certainty.

By the way, I've noticed that these days some people are tying ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto prices into a story... I do look at that, but mostly as a mood thermometer, not as a navigation guide. Anyway, if I really need to execute, I focus on the cost, the path, and where the escape routes are for my own trades. That's all for now.
