After I mute the group, everything suddenly becomes quiet, and I can calmly think through things: ordinary people really don't need to worry every day about whether the mainnet is more authentic or if L2 is the future.
My own compromise is—small, high-frequency operations (like swapping, claiming airdrops) are all done on L2 to save hassle and gas;
but for long-term holdings, permissions, large transfers (authorizations, main positions, cold wallet transfers), I still go back to the mainnet. If it's expensive, it's expensive once—better to sleep peacefully.
Basically, it's about separating "spending money for certainty" and "saving money for experience" in accounting.
Recently, the modular and DA layer narratives are hot again, developers are talking excitedly, and users are confused—I can understand that...
I only look at one thing: how much I need to pay when I confirm, how long it takes to arrive, and whether I can withdraw if something goes wrong.
Let them argue about the rest first; I’ll just make sure the templates run smoothly before anything else.
