I just checked the mempool, and that "queue hall" feeling hit me again: you click send, and basically you're putting your transaction into a queue where everyone is competing for seats at the same time. When the network is congested, miners/validators prioritize picking up transactions with higher fees, so yours might just sit in the pool, or even get bumped and resubmitted. The feeling is—why hasn't it gone through yet? Did I click the wrong button? Anyway, whenever I encounter congestion, I first try small amounts to test the waters; I don't want to argue with myself.

Recently, the group has been talking about staking unlocks and token unlock calendars. As the selling pressure anxiety kicks in, the chain gets even busier, and everyone gets more impatient, making the mempool even more crowded... The comment section is quite interesting too—some say "don't panic," others say "leave early." I just quietly watch the excitement and casually draw a couple of queue distribution charts, just to keep things simple for now.
