Just got a bunch of red-dot notifications on my phone: someone’s explaining today’s up-and-down moves again with “ETF fund flows + US stock risk appetite”… fine, they always manage to make it sound very convincing. Back to the point: for ordinary people using L2, I think you don’t need to obsess over the whole “mainnet is the only legitimate one” thing. The gas you save is the experience—fewer confirmations means fewer times of mental overload. My compromise is: for everyday small amounts and frequent actions, use L2; if something can be bundled into one transaction, don’t split it into ten. For truly long-term holding, large amounts, or contracts with messy permissions, it’s better to go back to the mainnet and consolidate everything in one go. Don’t keep your assets hanging on a pile of bridges and authorizations you don’t recognize just to save a few bucks—save all that, and in the end it all gets spilled back out. Following the rules is boring, but it’s cheaper than doing damage control after FOMO.
