这里每年都会淘汰80%的人，四年牛熊走下来，几乎筛掉99%。
能完整熬过两轮以上牛熊的，已是千里挑一。
但这只代表你还在场，不代表你真的赚到钱。
真正能长期稳定盈利的，连万分之一都不到。
哪怕你自认为认知够高、执行力够强，照样会被周期碾压、被人性打败。
因为币圈拼的从来不是一时冲动，
而是长期风控、铁一般的纪律，和极致的逆人性。
最后问自己一句：
你，是那万分之一吗？

I learned to care about priority fees the hard way, not from a whitepaper, but from a missed trade.
You can do everything right as a trader, read momentum correctly, size properly, manage risk, and still lose your entry because your transaction was simply not prioritized when the network got busy. That is why Fogo priority fees matter. They are not just a technical detail for developers. They are part of execution quality, and execution quality is part of returns.
Fogo is built as a DeFi focused Layer 1 with Solana style architecture, SVM compatibility, and a performance design aimed at low latency trading use cases like order books, auctions, and liquidations. The official docs make that positioning clear, which is important because priority fees make more sense when you see the network through a trading lens rather than a generic blockchain lens.
So what are priority fees in simple terms
Think of them as an optional tip you add when you want better odds of fast inclusion during congestion. Fogo’s litepaper says its transaction fees are designed to mirror Solana’s, with a base fee for a simple one signature transaction and an optional prioritization fee during congestion to increase inclusion probability. It also specifies that half of the base fee is burned, half goes to the validator processing the transaction, and 100 percent of priority fees go to the block producer.
That last part matters for traders because it explains the behavior you may see in live markets. When the chain is calm, you may not need to pay extra at all. When the chain is crowded, urgency gets priced. If your trade is time sensitive, like entering a breakout, closing a leveraged position, or protecting collateral near a liquidation threshold, you may choose to pay priority fees because the cost of delay can be much higher than the fee itself.
The mistake many newer users make is treating all on chain actions as equal. They are not. Sending funds between your own wallets is different from hitting a fast moving market. Claiming something non urgent is different from defending a position. Priority fees are really a way to express that difference.
A useful real life style example is a volatility spike around a macro event. Imagine you are holding a leveraged position and price starts moving against you faster than usual. At that moment, your goal is not “cheap transaction.” Your goal is “confirmed transaction in time.” In that situation, paying a priority fee is less like overpaying gas and more like paying for execution certainty. It is similar to accepting a slightly worse spread to get out of risk quickly. You may not like the cost, but you understand the alternative.
This is where a lot of educational content stops, but traders and investors should go one step further and think about the retention problem.
The retention problem is simple. A chain can attract users with speed, novelty, and incentives, but it keeps them only if execution remains understandable and fair when conditions get messy. If people repeatedly feel that they must guess fees, overpay to stay safe, or miss trades anyway, they may not leave immediately, but they stop trusting the environment. And once trust drops, liquidity gets thinner, activity becomes more mercenary, and long term participation weakens.
Priority fees do not automatically create a retention problem. In many cases they actually reduce chaos because they price urgency transparently instead of turning congestion into random failure. The problem shows up when users do not know when to pay, how much to pay, or what they are buying with that extra fee. For Fogo, which is explicitly targeting latency sensitive DeFi, this user education layer matters almost as much as raw performance. The protocol can be technically fast, but if users feel unsure during peak conditions, the experience still feels slow.
From an investor perspective, this is not a minor UX point. It affects the quality of demand. Temporary activity can be bought. Repeat activity is earned. Networks that explain transaction behavior clearly tend to keep better users, and better users are usually the ones who provide consistent volume, deeper liquidity, and more durable ecosystem value.
There is also a more practical takeaway for traders. Do not think of priority fees as something you either always use or never use. Treat them like a tool in your execution stack. Most of the time, you may use the default path. When timing becomes critical, you raise priority. When the action is non urgent, you stay cheap. Over time, that habit is better than emotional fee decisions made in the middle of stress.
I also think there is a healthy mindset shift here for anyone trading on high performance chains. We often compare platforms by headline speed, but the real question is what happens when everybody wants speed at the same time. Priority fees are one answer to that problem. They are not perfect, and they do not remove market risk, but they help convert hidden congestion into an explicit cost you can evaluate.
If you are trading on Fogo or considering long term exposure to its ecosystem, watch how priority fees behave during real volatility, not just quiet hours. Pay attention to whether urgent transactions become more predictable, whether user experience stays understandable, and whether active traders keep coming back after stressful sessions. That is where the signal is.
I trust a network more when it tells me the price of urgency upfront, and I trust it even more when users still choose to stay after paying it.
Do you agree whit me?
