Yes, but only for brief periods of time. As I recall, the last time the monkeys outbid the monetary guys, it lasted maybe 8-9 hours. Fees were over 1,000. Eventually the monkey folks are paying more in fees than they’re earning on the monkeys and fee rates return to normal. But I can tell you firsthand, if you have urgent non-monkey-business to do on-chain during one of those monkey-heavy periods, you’re in for a world of hurt. 🐵
