I just watched a transaction get stuck in the mempool for half an hour without moving. The gas fee was like a roller coaster—so I tapped “accelerate,” but it just got shoved into another line. Honestly, when the chain is congested on-chain, what I hate most is those dudes who come barreling in like crazy, snatching at the front as if they’re hunting for position—when the chain can’t even breathe, they still won’t stop. In the end, they end up handing all those fees to miners.

Lately, isn’t there that public chain that’s supposed to be upgrading? And now people are guessing which ecosystem projects might “run away.” Everyone says they’re not worried out loud, but their wallets are being very honest—they’ve got a bunch of transactions lined up waiting to migrate. Anyway, every time I run into a peak, I just go with the flow: wait until the rush dies down, so I don’t get gas-fee counter-killed. Lol.
