Watching the mempool again today feels a bit like watching people line up in the morning rush hour… The moment you click confirm, it’s basically like pulling cards: if you set the gas too low, you’ll be forced to wait at the back of the line, watching others cut in one car after another (the kind where they raise the price); if you set it too high, you’ll end up regretting it, like you’ve been charged a “congestion tax.” What’s even more annoying is that halfway through, the market suddenly goes weird—especially when meme(s) + a celebrity’s one-line remark cause attention to shift, the queue instantly explodes. Your order might not even be on-chain yet, and the price will already have moved the equivalent of two blocks. In the end, you either get filled in an awkward position, or you just run into a timeout / cancel it yourself.
Now when I see congestion, I take a breath first—I’d rather make a little less than be the last one in line and, on top of that, pay an extra acceleration fee… Let’s see.
