Lately, watching everyone stare at the extreme funding rate expressions looks quite like watching ice cream melt away: is it about to reverse or just keep the bubble inflating… I don’t know either, so I’ll just keep my actions “a bit cooler” for now. When the mainnet gas is expensive, I get timid, and the experience indeed feels more like paying tuition; but if I completely move everything to L2, it also gives a sense of “saving, but with no confidence.”

My current compromise is: small, high-frequency trades go to L2 (moving around, testing new things), but for long-term holdings or large amounts, I try to settle everything on the mainnet at once and minimize moves. For safety, I’m willing to spend an extra step: before each cross-chain/bridge, I’d rather wait two more minutes to verify if the address and contract are the ones I used before, and also send a small test transfer… it’s a bit troublesome, but it’s more comfortable than cursing myself afterward.
