Recently, L2s have started comparing TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies again, and it's making me anxious for beginners... Frankly, ordinary people have only two options: for small amounts and high frequency, I go with L2s to save on gas and worry less; for large amounts or holding without moving, I’d rather spend a bit more gas to go back to the mainnet, at least I can sleep peacefully. Don’t force yourself to endure poor experiences in this area—use whichever wallet or cross-chain bridge feels most comfortable, don’t stay up all night watching confirmations just to save a few bucks in fees. I admit I’m a bit envious of those who dare to keep their funds on L2s for activities, but with my “overnight position fear,” I really get anxious if I don’t reduce my position before bed... Anyway, it’s safer to be more cautious and less hassle.
