These past few days, I've been seeing everyone arguing about Layer 2—who has higher TPS, who is cheaper, who offers more subsidies... Honestly, regular people don't have 😂 the time to move around every day. My current compromise is: for small daily interactions, try to do them on L2 (Layer 2, which is cheaper and faster), but when it comes to positions that need to be held longer or operations with higher permissions, I still go back to the mainnet. Yes, it's more expensive, but I sleep better knowing it's secure.
I also have a small habit: first check on the chain whether whales are currently messing around on the same chain. If emotions get too heated, I hold back and let my cat press a couple of keys to cool down... Anyway, don’t turn yourself into a cross-chain worker back and forth just to save a few gas fees. That’s it for now.
