I just took a look at the mainnet gas, and it’s gone back up by quite a bit. Honestly, sometimes I find it really hard to decide: you cut over to Layer 2 to save that little bit of fee, but then withdrawing again takes half a day. If you happen to catch a market move and need the money urgently, that’s even more infuriating. What I’m doing now is this: for small amounts that aren’t urgent, I just toss them into Layer 2 and play around—like those re-staking “matryoshka dolls,” I’m not in a hurry anyway. If gas is low, then keep it low. But if I really need to change positions, or sell with a low-priced limit order of USDC, I still go back to the mainnet—even if I pay more gas. At least I’m not afraid of getting stuck mid-route. In plain terms: don’t save a few bucks and end up hurting yourself. Safety is safety, liquidity is liquidity. Don’t skimp on redundancies—either you teach a backup tutorial, or you just think… leaving yourself one more way out is stronger than anything.
