Lately I’ve been stuck deciding whether to use the mainnet or L2. To put it plainly, it’s that one side complains about gas being expensive, while the other worries about the whole experience going wrong. My compromise is pretty simple: keep big amounts and long-term funds on the mainnet, move small amounts and do frequent activity on L2—especially those interactions that require going back and forth many times—otherwise one transaction fee can ruin my mood for half a day…

But don’t over-believe in L2 either. “Bridge-hopping” is where accidents happen most easily. As someone who loves to dig through timelines, I get my scalp tingling when I see cross-chain getting stuck or the RPC acting up.

Recently, everyone’s been talking about rate-cut expectations, and the U.S. dollar index has been swinging along with risk assets—yet for some reason I’m even more conservative. When the market is moving, don’t move stuff around too often. The less you tinker, the fewer trails/evidence there are to document (which is bad news for me, but good news for you).

That’s it for now—use it slowly and don’t get carried away.
