Lately I've been struggling again: when the mainnet gas fee is too high, I get scared; Layer 2 experiences are indeed smoother, but just thinking about cross-chain risks, bridge issues, and waiting for confirmations makes me revert to "Forget it, just stay in cash." Frankly, for ordinary people, I see two compromises: small daily transactions on L2, and if you’re holding long-term or moving large amounts, stick to the mainnet as much as possible—less hassle equals peace of mind.

The "signal" I truly care about isn't who shouts the loudest, but the gradual positive change in on-chain net inflow, transaction volume not relying on one or two fake pumps, plus gas fees starting to be less outrageous... only then do I dare to move more.

By the way, a quick rant: hardware wallets are out of stock, phishing links are everywhere. People’s security awareness has improved, but don’t get nervous and click on unfamiliar "airdrops" or "subsidy" links. Anyway, even I, as someone who keeps a cash position, get anxious just watching you guys.
