I used to get excited whenever I heard about L2, thinking I finally wouldn't have to be taught how to behave by the mainnet gas; now I'm more cautious: the small transaction fees saved might be offset by waiting times for cross-chain/bridges, low liquidity, or slippage when you can't withdraw... To put it simply, the experience is smooth, but you need to look carefully at the exit. My compromise approach is: keep large and long-term holdings on the mainnet (to feel secure), and move small, high-frequency transactions to L2 (for convenience), then periodically test the "withdrawal paths" so you don't find out the bridge is congested only when something goes wrong. Recently, everyone has been using ETF capital flows and US stock market risk appetite to explain crypto price movements, but the more I see, the more I want to diversify my positions across different chains and different exit points—since I never fully commit, being able to sleep peacefully is the most important.
