I used to stick stubbornly to the mainnet, thinking L2 stuff was all flashy and that transfers were too much trouble.

Later, gas taught me a lesson. I tried a bit of Arb and OP, and for day-to-day small interactions, it really is great— the fees I saved is enough for several cups of coffee.
But if we’re talking about trade-offs… honestly, the cross-chain experience is still awful. Especially recently, when cross-chain bridges ran into problems again: after the oracle got tweaked, everyone was stuck there waiting for “final confirmation,” and it felt nerve-wracking.

People think L2 is just fast and cheap, and that you can do everything.
In reality: once the money gets bigger, I go back to the mainnet and queue up properly. Safety first—trying to save effort can end up costing you big.

Anyway, I’m throwing small amounts at L2 for fun right now, but for bigger positions I’m still staying on the mainnet. What about you?
