Just now, doing an operation on my own chain, the feeling of a bunch of people queuing in the mempool was so real: you think clicking is enough, but in reality, you're just standing at the door, and miners/packagers see who is "more anxious" and take them first. The more congested it gets, the easier it is to start mindlessly refreshing or retrying, and the result is the same transaction stuck and not moving, and people become anxious... To put it simply, during congestion, what gets amplified first is not the technology, but the trading mentality.

Recently, I also saw some regions tightening and loosening taxes and compliance, sometimes tightening, sometimes relaxing, and the expectations for deposits and withdrawals change suddenly, making the chain suddenly lively. Anyway, when I encounter congestion now, I first check active addresses and congestion levels, don’t rush in blindly, wait if you can, otherwise consider it a lesson for yourself. That’s all for now.
