These days, I'm again debating whether to go with the mainnet or L2, basically: save gas or save hassle. The mainnet is expensive, but the sense of "finality" and reliability is still there, especially for large transfers—I’d rather spend a bit more, at least I don’t have to gamble with bridges and sequencers; for small, frequent interactions, I honestly prefer L2, the experience is really smooth, and I don’t want every click to hurt.



Another annoying point: now there are a bunch of on-chain data tools and address labels being criticized for lag or misleading information, I feel the same… Seeing the "smart money" label, I don’t trust it much anymore; it’s more reliable to go back and check contract permissions, upgrade switches, and other hard facts.

Anyway, I’ve lowered my expectations: treat L2 as a cheap "operation layer," and the mainnet as the "settlement layer," don’t expect to pick the perfect solution for all scenarios at once. Lowering expectations makes it easier and reduces a lot of emotional trading.
