The blockchain was a bit congested just now. I was watching my transaction queue up in the mempool, feeling like a takeout order stuck at the elevator door downstairs: you clearly ordered it, but it’s just “pending,” and after a while, someone might jump the line by paying more. Basically, miners/packagers pick the more lucrative fees first; if you pay too little, you just wait patiently, and if it takes too long, it might expire or I might cancel and resend it myself. The mentality is very easy to get anxious.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have become popular again. I have some mixed feelings: on one hand, watching them automatically swap tokens and interact smoothly; on the other hand, I worry they might recklessly grant permissions or sign transactions just to get “faster,” and in the end, I still bear the security risks myself. I used to follow a certain “automation tool stream,” but then I saw a bunch of people promoting narratives and vague details, so I quietly unfollowed… I’d rather miss out than get emotionally driven to chase higher prices during congestion. That’s all for now.
