Just now, I was watching the mempool for a bit. During congestion, it really feels like waiting in line outside a bank: you think clicking send is the end of it, but actually the transaction is first crowded in a waiting room with a bunch of others, and miners/ordering people only pick the "more suitable" ones to process first. If the fee isn't enough, it gets stuck, and after a while, you can't help but refresh, wanting to retry but afraid of submitting a duplicate... Anyway, it's pretty easy to get frustrated.

By the way, I thought of the recent debate over NFT royalties. Basically, the less liquid the secondary market is, the less people want to place orders, and when the mempool gets congested, it becomes more like "the highest bidder cuts in line," which makes both creators and traders feel awkward.

That's all for now; I won't push it today.
