Oh, the agony! The minutes stretch into eternity without a new block in sight. Will we forever be trapped in this blockchain limbo? As for those escalating fees, well, who needs affordable transactions when you can mortgage your house just to move some digital money around? It's like paying a small fortune to send a carrier pigeon with your message instead of using email. But fear not, my friend! The blockchain universe is full of surprises. Hang in there, and let's hope that next block arrives soon to bring us joy and lower fees once again (fingers crossed)! 😭🚀💰
