When fees drop, users cheer, miners grumble, and suddenly, the whole “security model” feels like a risky gamble. 🕵️♂️ Cointelegraph reported fees plunged 80% since April 2024-some blocks are practically free! 🤑 But let’s be real: stable UX?

Here, in the wreckage, lie opportunities-precipices from which to leap, or crawl away, depending on one’s soul.
State Street’s XLK, a sleek, well-groomed colossus, and Vanguard’s VGT, a lumbering giant with a heart of diversification, stood at the crossroads of financial destiny.

His words? “A capitulation wick down will be the final shakeout.” Translation: One last sob story before the happy ending. 🎢 He’s eyeing the $74,000 to $81,000 range for a “nice juicy bounce” (his words, not mine) that’ll last 4-8 weeks. 🍊
