Lately, people keep using ETF fund flows and U.S. stock market risk appetite to explain why crypto goes up and down in waves, and I just find it pretty helpless… I don’t really understand the macro stuff either. What I can control is the gas fees and operational risk in my own transfers.

Right now, on the mainnet, I basically only do two things: large deposits/withdrawals, and those signatures that must be done on the mainnet (for example, changing permissions, or revoking approvals). For other everyday interactions, I move everything to L2—it’s more hassle-free, uses less gas, and the experience is smoother too. The trade-off is roughly: don’t force small amounts onto the mainnet just to “push through” the fees you’d rather avoid. The money you save isn’t additional profit—it’s avoiding one more opportunity to slip up, like revoking the wrong approval, just to save a few bucks. But don’t make L2 too fragmented either; bouncing across bridges can end up blurring the boundaries of your risk. In any case, my principle is still the same: first stay alive, then talk about profits.
