Someone asked me, "Should we just stick to L2 from now on"… I reply first: Don’t go all-in with a one-size-fits-all approach. Honestly, ordinary people are just balancing between saving gas and minimizing hassle. My current approach is: for daily small and frequent transactions, use L2 to avoid feeling bad every time you click confirm; but when it’s for long-term storage, giving more permissions, or involving cross-chain bridges, I’d rather go back to the mainnet once, consolidate key assets and authorizations, it’s more expensive but gives peace of mind.
Recently, the group has been talking about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors. When emotions run high, it’s easy to get shaky hands. I don’t chase hype anyway, just place my orders well, and if something really happens, let the transaction density tell me how much panic there is—don’t rely on forwarding screenshots to make decisions. That’s all for now.
