Is it useful to hedge with a contract?

Is the blockchain really this congested when claiming pump from pancake? From the time I clicked the claim button to receiving the tokens, the price has dropped by more than half. What is going on? It was originally worth 60u, but by the time I finished claiming and was ready to exchange, it was less than 30u. By the time I submitted the transaction, it was completely congested. After the transaction was completed, it was left with less than 25u. 6575593895281105749920 This damn token doesn't seem to have any bottom line since it came out on the IDO??
