Lately, I've been debating again: should I completely switch to L2? To be honest, the mainnet is like an old city district—expensive but reliable; L2 is like a newly opened shopping street—smooth to walk, gas fees are friendly, but occasionally switching back and forth can be a bit tiring. My compromise approach is pretty simple: do small daily interactions on L2, and for long-term holdings or things I don't want to fuss over repeatedly, stick to the mainnet. Less operation means less worry.
These days, some people are talking about rate cut expectations and the US dollar index—risk assets are sometimes soaring, sometimes retreating... the information noise is really loud. The only noise reduction strategy is: don't chase every piece of news, pick a fixed time each week to check on on-chain data and record your positions, and spend the rest of the time relaxing—no need to stay up late.
