I started recording exactly how much gas I spend, and how much extra distance I go to save that little bit of money (cross-chain, changing wallets, re-signing…); it turned out to be quite useful: before, whenever I saw mainnet transaction fees, I reflexively ran to L2, now I first think, "Is this worth the hassle?" Small, frequent transactions are better off on L2 for a smoother experience; but if I need to do something important (like permissions or contract interactions), I’d rather pay a bit more on the mainnet, at least I feel more secure and can trace issues if they arise. Recently, memes and celebrity calls have been hot again, attention shifts so quickly, newcomers are most likely to rush without even checking the chain, and the last step is often not because they’re not smart, but because they’re too impatient. Anyway, I now rely on that chart to remind myself: don’t treat saving gas as a discount coupon for risk.
