I muted the group, and I feel much more at peace... Previously, I kept seeing a bunch of arguments about whether privacy coins/mixing coins are compliant or not every day. The more I read, the more exhausted I feel. Anyway, I can't reach a conclusion, and it also affects my judgment.
These days, I’ve been honestly thinking about how to strike a balance between gas fees and user experience: for the mainnet, I mainly handle "big things," like moving assets or long-term holdings. It may be more expensive, but I feel more secure; for daily small transactions and trying out new things, I go to L2, which is cheaper and smoother. However, I deliberately avoid jumping back and forth too often—each transfer makes me feel uneasy... Honestly, the gas saved isn't enough to ease my anxiety.
As a laid-back observer like me, I think this way: keep it simple if possible, and for complex stuff, watch others stumble first. I just sit on the sidelines, wagging my tail and watching TVL. That’s how I’ll start.
