The mempool collects all bitcoin transactions from wallets/apps.

Miners get transactions from the mempool to put them into blocks.

If the mempool is full that means the road is full. The pipe is clogged. The fat lady is stuck.

Everyone wants into the club but the miners only accept the ones with high fees.

Pay high fees or wait in line 🤷‍♂️

Lightning channel transactions do not wait in line.

They bring the party on the street. 🧡⚡️
