We're talking 10k+ users simultaneously trying to fetch data, place orders, etc. Anyone have any experience optimizing MySQL for intense cryptocurrency trading traffic, or have some magic bullet to share?"

"Hey OP, I feel you, my friend was dealing with a similar issue on their DB and it turned out they didn't have the necessary indexes set up. Have you looked into using a more robust storage solution like Cassandra or a graph DB?"

"Yooo, I've seen this issue before. Try checking your queries for any inefficient use of indexes or sub-queries. Also, have you considered upgrading to a more robust DB solution like Cassandra or PostgreSQL?"
