I used to be a bit paranoid, always saying "I only look on-chain," treating addresses like character profiles: who crosses from the mainnet to L2, who circles back to CEX, I’d want to label people at a glance... But when it came to actually doing it myself, I’d get scared. Just a little gas on the mainnet and I’d start calculating costs, the experience was enough to turn me off completely.

Now, a compromise approach is pretty crude: small amounts, frequent transfers to L2, easy and worry-free; for large amounts or when dealing directly with mainnet contracts, I’d rather pick a lower gas fee and take it slow. Recently, the testnet incentives and points system have become popular again, and people in the group ask every day, "Will the mainnet issue tokens?" I get tempted to try a couple of times, but I remind myself not to treat "completing tasks" as investment... Anyway, this kind of contrarian indicator, the more excited I get, the more likely I am to pay tuition. That’s all for now.
