I’m now watching the mempool queue like watching a cafeteria serve-and-wait line… When there are a lot of people, you can only hold your tray and wait it out, while the ones cutting in line are all that “paying tips / bribe” kind of crowd. You think you’ve placed an order, but in reality you’ve only joined the queue. When it gets congested, it may inch along slowly—then get shoved out halfway, and even end up standing in place like a penalized standstill. And then you look back: the hype has already cycled through once.

Recently, there are again a bunch of Memes and celebrities shouting trading calls. The old players are advising newcomers not to take the last leg. I used to not buy it—I was still stubborn about it—but now the version has been updated: I’d rather miss the excitement than end up stuck at the very back of the line until dawn… Anyway, I may be impulsive, but at least I don’t want to be the punchline—standing in the congestion like joke material. That’s it for now.
