The most expensive mistake you are making right now is believing the "L2 Parasite" FUD.

I see this take everywhere: "L2s steal fees from L1 and kill $ETH."

If you believe this, you are literally trading based on headlines written by tourists.

Here is the reality check:

The gas you pay for a swap doesn't matter. The game isn't about $5 fees; it's about Reservation Demand.

Ethereum sells Security as a Service.

L2s don't "steal" from L1 they are its biggest customers. They batch their chaos into blobs and pay L1 to verify the truth.

The more L2s scale, the more security they need to buy from the base layer.

They don't hurt Ethereum; they crown it.

The Flywheel is simple:

More L2 Usage = Higher Security Demand = More $ETH Staked.

And if you think the institutions don't know this, you are asleep.

Over 70% of RWA tokenization is already on Ethereum.

Do you really think banks and governments are going to migrate trillions of dollars onto a network and leave the security to random anons?

No.

They will stake.

They will run validators.

They will race to control the security budget of the rails they run on.

"This is why they got permission to custody $ETH."

They aren't just coming to use the network.

They are coming to own the settlement layer.

Fade the L2 noise.

We are watching the global financial system migrate to one settlement layer, and you are worried about blob fees.

Position yourself for the endgame.
