Can give the below video a watch, which makes me think it still good to have a few matic and forget about. Polygons real "features" are not completely being used yet, and basically just a gold rush avoiding taxes with very few having implemented any full features apps on it.
Which does make me a little more willing to have certain tokens and just sit on them, not as many as I would like so I would hope for x100 instead of 10 to give a shit but I do like my money working instead of lazing. Instant gratification and all that.
A big thing I think aside from the tech does seem to be the communities also, matic not having moved much is a lot todo with the communities they inherited, the Eth rejects partially.
But yeah I agree I rather get late to an awesome party that will keep raging than a hyped party that turns out to be a funeral.
