Last night, I watched the mempool for a while, and during congestion, your transaction is really just like waiting in line to buy coffee: first thrown into a bunch of "candidates," miners/block producers pick who pays a higher fee, after that you might get cut in line (someone pays more or switches routes), if not, you just keep hanging around, and in the end, you either get included in a block, expire, or cancel and resend yourself. To put it simply, it's not "once I click confirm, it should arrive immediately," but "is my bid high enough to make others willing to process it." When I encounter congestion now, I don't fight it head-on; I prefer to split into smaller transactions, wait a bit, or directly pay a higher fee for certainty, to avoid a lot of hassle.

Recently, the debate over privacy coins and mixing has also become quite divisive, with disagreements over where the compliance boundaries actually lie... Anyway, the more they argue, the noisier the information gets, mixing truth and falsehood together. My noise reduction strategy is simple: only look at on-chain evidence that can be verified (transactions, permissions, minting traces), and don't get caught up in emotional posts.
