These days, the group has started chasing all kinds of memes and celebrity quotes that set the rhythm, and I find it a bit headache-inducing... Veteran players say that not taking the final step is not about pretending to be clear-headed; mainly, once you get excited, it's easy to rush onto the mainnet and make hard pushes, gas fees are high, and entering and exiting feel like you're paying an extra "emotional tax."
My current compromise is very simple: for daily interactions and trying out new protocols, I first use L2, it's cheap and convenient, and I don't mind if I fail; if I need to move large amounts or require the highest security (like long-term holdings), I still go back to the mainnet, slower but more reassuring. Basically, separating "frequent tinkering" from "long-term storage," handling them in stages like kneading dough, rather than doing everything at once. That's it for now—markets are lively, but don’t get caught up in the attention shifts.
