Lately, the L2s have been competing every day on TPS, fees, and subsidies, making quite a commotion, but what I’m actually more anxious about is: once you really manage to earn some money, where do you put it… To put it simply, peace of mind matters more than speed.
My own rough breakdown: for small amounts, don’t fuss—this “social recovery” setup is quite friendly to forgetful people, and if you lose your phone, you won’t immediately fall apart on the spot. When your assets reach the level of “if I lose them, I won’t be able to sleep,” switch to a hardware wallet, at least separating the private keys from the online environment a bit. And further up the ladder, don’t be a hero—carrying all responsibility alone is too exhausting. Multi-signature is more like team collaboration / family co-management; it’s troublesome, but it can turn “I might make a wrong move once because my hands are shaky” into something that requires multiple people to agree on.
As for trading psychology, I’m not even trying to “conquer fear” anymore—I treat it as practice: every time you feel like adding to your position or making a random move with your holdings, ask yourself one question first: if this money is locked for a year, would I regret it? Anyway, just keep taking it slow and steady—first, get the foundation solid.
