Recently, using L2 feels more like riding the subway than driving on the highway: cheap, smooth, but occasionally switching (cross-chain/withdrawal) still causes some lag. For ordinary people, my current compromise is: for daily small transactions and frequent interactions, stick with L2; if I need to hold long-term or worry about proving something later (airdrops, governance, contract records), then leave a "base" on the mainnet. The mainnet is really expensive, but that sense of security—"once written, it's counted"—is also genuine.

These days, discussions in the group about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various "de-pegging" rumors are circulating again. I realize the first thing I need to manage is my emotions: the more anxious I get, the more I want to operate frequently, which results in gas fees and slippage teaching me a lesson... Anyway, I plan to simplify my approach, do less fiddling, leave more buffer, and take it slow.
