Funny how the market works. Five years of non-stop complaints about soaring Gas fees ruining everything—too expensive to transact, killing DeFi yields, pushing people to Layer 2s. Everyone wanted cheap transactions. Now heading into 2026, the narrative flips. Higher Gas means network activity is thriving, projects are booming, the blockchain is actually being used. What was the enemy becomes proof of vitality. The same thing people cursed is now a sign of success. Crypto market psychology in a nutshell.

Basically, it's collective brainwashing. The enemies from five years ago are now heroes, and that logic is just nonsense.

Anyway, when the gas fees are high, people curse the sky and the earth; now it has become proof of online activity... So good at changing their tune.

This is the psychology of retail investors, always finding reasons for themselves.

Basically, it's just that the newbies have been exploited for so long that they can justify anything.

It's so damn ironic. Five years ago, I was criticizing Gas fees fiercely, and now it's turned into proof of network activity.
