Recently, I’ve been helping DAO take meeting notes, and everyone’s discussion about Layer 2 is like a religious debate: insisting it must "return to the mainnet to be legitimate," yet complaining that gas fees are ridiculously high. Honestly, ordinary people just want things to be convenient. I now use layered approaches: small daily transactions, trying new protocols by first using L2, saving gas so I don’t feel bad every time I click confirm; for long-term storage or high-permission operations, I still go through the mainnet—expensive but I can sleep well.

Some people also hype social mining and fan tokens as “attention equals mining,” and I find that exhausting… Attention is already scarce enough, and now I have to calculate my earnings while scrolling? Anyway, I only care about two things: whether the exit cost is high, and whether I can be held accountable if something goes wrong. As someone with social anxiety, I prefer fewer group chats and more predictable fees and user experience.
