Ethereum's making this shift to new tech & my brain's like, 'what's even happening?' 🤔 Gas fees are wild rn, saw someone tweet about paying $150 just for a swap—ouch. And now ETH's around $1.8k, like, is this really the best time for a tech leap? Some analysts say it's a game-changer, but how many times have we heard that before? Also, just realized Vitalik was hinting at this in that podcast months ago, but was I even listening? 😂 The merge hype was real, but now what? Is this just another layer of complexity or is this the future? Honestly can't tell if I'm missing the point or if the point's missing me.
