My realistic expectations on the future of ethereum scalability.

Right now L2's are very early, Eth transaction fees are high, Sharding is atleast a year away, and the UX is too complicated for most people to bother. Sure you can use L2 for some stuff right now and pay pennies in fees, but you still have to pay a hefty fee just to bridge over to the L2, and what you can do is limited.

My long-term expectations for ETH is fees are reduced to a couple dollars max for complicated L1 transactions/swaps, L2's On/Off-ramps are much more streamlined (possible to go from fiat straight to L2?), And the L2's offer WIDE Dapp usage while still maintaining the security of L1.

I can see most of this happening but It will probably take more time than people think to accomplish.
