As usual, I first checked the large on-chain transfers in the morning, and casually glanced at the mempool, the queue was still very long... To put it simply, during congestion, your transaction is like taking a taxi during rush hour: it's not that there are no cars, but everyone is fighting for them, and miners/packagers will only pick the "more profitable" ones first. You will experience a few outcomes: it stays stuck and doesn't move; you get pushed to the back and wait a long time; or you can't help but add some fee to "cut in line," and if that doesn't work, you just cancel and resend.
I now treat it as practice: don’t get upset just because of a block, first figure out if you're really in a hurry, if so, pay the cost; if not, wait. Don’t start imagining the market is about to skyrocket just because a few minutes pass without confirmation. The economic collapse points in chain games are similar—when inflation kicks in, studios rush in, and coin prices spiral—many people are just driven by the emotion of "missing out soon" and start clicking randomly... Anyway, I’ll finish my breakfast first.
