I'm just someone who draws on the blockchain during the day and mines blocks at night. Recently, when the network was congested, I kept an eye on the mempool (transaction queue). It was really like the line for drinks during peak hours at a shop: placing an order doesn't mean it's made immediately, you first have to see if your tip is enough, how many orders are stacked up in front, and whether big orders are cutting in line. If the fee is too low, your transaction just stays hanging, and if you're unlucky, it might even expire. In the end, you have to cancel or resend it yourself. The feeling is like "I clearly pressed send, why is there still no response?" These days, there's also a debate in the group about whether the extreme funding rates are reversing or just continuing to inflate the bubble. I'm more concerned about not chasing after the market when emotions are at their peak— the more crowded the queue, the easier it is to overpay and lose your cool... Anyway, I prefer to take it slow, avoid staying up late, not to hold heavy positions, and wait until the line clears.
