Just now I saw my transaction queued in the mempool, which really feels like waiting in line to buy tea during peak hours... Those who get in first go out first, later ones either add a little "tip" to cut the line or wait patiently, waiting until the crowd thins out before it's your turn. During congestion, the most torturous thing isn't the transaction not going through, but that you start overthinking: Did I enter the wrong address? Was I front-run? Should I accelerate? When anxious, it's easy to click things recklessly.

Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock again, and phishing links are everywhere. I find myself reminding more: the more congested it is, the less you should randomly click pop-ups. Better to wait a moment, like having a cup of tea, and confirm everything clearly. It's okay to go slow. Honestly, on-chain opportunities are not lacking; what’s missing is patience and not being reckless. That’s all for now.
