Today, watching the mempool queue was quite an experience: you click "send," and you're just throwing the transaction into a pile of "pending" baskets, where miners/validators pick the more profitable ones to package first. During congestion, it’s more like waiting in line to buy tickets—someone tips extra and cuts in line, if you don’t tip, you just stay hanging, and if it drags on long enough, the node might clear it out, and you have to resend and start over. What’s more annoying is that you think you're "doing something on the chain," but you're actually just stuck at the door, and your mindset can easily get worn down. Recently, everyone’s been complaining that on-chain data tools and tagging systems are lagging or misleading, and I can understand: in this gray area of the mempool, many tools simply can't capture everything, and it’s easy to be misled into thinking "it has already happened" just by looking at the chart. Anyway, when I encounter congestion now, I prefer to hold back and confirm more slowly, rather than rushing to add extra fees out of emotion.
