I'm now basically "using L2 for daily activities, only returning to the mainnet for big things"… It's not that I save on gas fees, mainly I just prefer the comfort of mind, so I don't feel pain every time I confirm a transaction. The experience on L2 is indeed smooth, but honestly, it's just an extra "middle layer": bridges, withdrawal times, occasional small parameter changes (like fee rates/limits). I keep screenshots of these to avoid confusion later.



I mainly use the mainnet as a settlement layer, especially for large amounts or long-term holdings that I prefer to keep stationary. I'd rather pay a bit more and be slower, at least with higher transparency. On L2, it's more about "high frequency but small amounts," so if something goes wrong, it won't cause a heart attack.

Recently, there's been a lot of talk about social mining and fan tokens—"attention as mining." It kind of feels like replacing gas with emotional costs: you think you're earning, but in reality, you're just being pulled into constant clicking and interaction… Anyway, I want to first figure out the costs clearly so I don't get fooled by the experience. That's all for now.
