Recently, the mainnet has been extremely congested again, and I feel uncomfortable as soon as the gas price rises... Frankly, ordinary people really don't need to fight the mainnet head-on, unless you're racing against time (like liquidation/forced liquidation). For regular transfers and small DeFi transactions, I now prefer to first send them to a commonly used L2 for convenience; but don't blindly believe in "cheap" fees, because withdrawing back to the mainnet often ends up being the biggest cost, especially during congestion, and the experience can be really frustrating.

New L1/L2 incentives to attract TVL, and the community starts arguing about "mining, liquidity, and selling." I can actually understand; arbitrageurs aren't exactly philanthropists... My compromise is: only put trial-and-error funds into new chains, treating them as a tool chain at most; for assets used long-term, stick with more mature L2s, and occasionally choose low-gas windows to batch transactions, rather than slipping in one by one and giving away fees to miners.

The information noise is also quite high. My noise reduction strategy is simple: only look at on-chain data and the real costs in my own wallet, and don't get caught up in the "hurry up and buy" hype in the group. That's all for now.
