These years, the Gas costs on the mainnet have indeed been substantial😂

Since 2023, the activity on the mainnet has significantly declined, and project opportunities have become scarce. Basically, current on-chain activities are still remnants of the dividends from projects before 2023. Not to mention the amount spent on Gas fees, let alone lessons learned from those anti-reward projects.

Interestingly, when the market enters a downturn and opportunities for free airdrops decrease, it actually pushes for more innovative applications and genuine needs to emerge. The truly valuable on-chain opportunities often brew during these quiet periods.

Let's wait and see if a new wave of on-chain ecosystem explosion will happen later.

Gas fees are affordable, but the wallet is running out of funds. The 2023 wave really won't come back. --- Projects that require anti-whale measures are even more expensive than Gas fees. Lessons learned from spending money. --- Are we brewing opportunities during the downturn? I'm just waiting to be cut like a leek. --- When will this wave of ecological explosion happen? I'm going to take a nap first. --- Sounds nice, but in reality, it's just gambling on whether the next wave will be lucky or not. --- Gas consumes half a year's profits, and I didn't even get a few airdrops. It's just pure money burning. --- Waiting for a new ecosystem? First, fill in the previous pits. --- There are more innovative applications during the downturn, but what about earning opportunities? --- Is the quiet period brewing? I think everyone is just waiting for the right moment.

I've seen it clearly for a long time. Those still messing around on the mainnet are all gamblers at heart. Gas fees are free, and the project still has no real chance, it's really frustrating. But on the other hand, the downturn is indeed a good time to strike gold, it all depends on who can endure this dull period. That's right, the next wave will definitely come, just not sure when. I've almost given up on Gas, if 2024 is still like this, I'll just give up completely.

All the gas has been paid to the miners, so what are you expecting for the ecosystem to explode?

Gas fees are nothing, poor private key management is the real bankruptcy. I've already switched to L2, the mainnet has long been phased out, you know. I held all through the 23-year wave, now I’m waiting for the next cycle based on the data. To be honest, the quiet period is the golden time for building positions; insiders all understand this.

In 2023, I really got caught up in the ups and downs, with Gas fees burning through the roof. Now I have to think twice about everything I look at. The low period is actually a good time to pick up bargains; it all depends on who can hold out until the next wave of ecosystem takeoff. Recently, the on-chain activity has indeed quieted down, but I feel like something is brewing.

Gas fees have indeed skyrocketed in recent years, it feels like all the costs are handed over to miners. After the 2023 boom, there weren't many opportunities left, now everyone is just living off their previous gains. The downturn is actually good; only in silence can true innovation be nurtured. Let's wait and see the next wave of explosion.
