Lately, I've been debating whether to run on Layer 2 or the mainnet, essentially a battle between gas fees and user experience. The mainnet offers a sense of security, but I really get nervous when a single transaction costs dozens of dollars; Layer 2 is cheaper and smoother, but once you start cross-chain or bridge back and forth, the more steps there are, the easier it is to get confused. My current compromise is: small, high-frequency activities go on L2 (like swapping small positions or trying out new protocols), and for things I plan to hold long-term or contracts with lots of permissions, I’d rather pay a bit more gas to stay on the mainnet, so I don’t lose sleep over it at night.

Watching the “inflation + studio + coin price spiral” in blockchain games has also been quite sobering. Even if the on-chain experience is cheap and smooth, if the economic model can't hold up, in the end, it’s emotions that collapse first, then the assets.

What I fear most isn’t losing money, but losing control — not just a small dip that makes you sad, but a process that's too complicated, with too many risk points, where something goes wrong and you can't even clearly explain how it happened. Anyway, I prefer to take it slow, wait until my emotions settle, then make a move.
