Gas has been low lately, but there are always a few hot “pools” whose blocks get jammed beyond belief—clearly someone is making big moves on purpose. Honestly, the rotation of hot spots is faster than I can add to my position. Today it’s one protocol locking funds, tomorrow it’s another platform doing mining. Anyone who chases in is basically just sending traffic to someone else. I’ve been watching gas more, and it feels like some trashy dog projects deliberately pump their bags in a specific time window to ride the hype, coupled with a round of small “articles.” Retail crowds in, and the packaging fee spikes—then they move in to harvest. Put simply: attention is the most expensive gas.

Hardware wallets are already out of stock; the signals are pretty obvious, yet phishing links are still flying everywhere. On security, I’d rather read the contract bytecode a few extra times than follow the crowd and click an unknown link. That’s it for now—I’m going to watch the chain.
