The blockchain was a bit congested just now. I was watching the mempool, and my transaction looked like waiting in line for a number... First broadcast it out, then wait among a bunch of transactions for miners/packagers to pick. If the fee isn't enough, it gets bumped, and if I get anxious and speed it up, I have to pay more. Sometimes it even gets stuck until I lose patience and it finally gets confirmed. To put it simply, it's not "click and it's done," but more like slipping a note into a crowd—whether it gets seen depends entirely on how crowded it is and whether you're willing to pay a tip.

Recently, during the extreme fee surge, people in the group argued whether to reverse the transaction or keep squeezing the bubble. I’ve become more calm: my habit is to check the pending transactions and base fee twice before placing an order, and I set a threshold for "not chasing after fees that exceed a certain point." I’d rather be late than fight in the mempool for oxygen. Anyway, I tend to panic and accelerate recklessly, and the next day I look back at my records and want to slap myself... That’s how I’ll do it for now.
